It's Just An Economy

It's not a benefit if it's self-serving:

Ontario’s job market was cooking last month — but only for public sector workers.

Provincial employment rose by 41,000 jobs overall in September, the majority in full-time work, the Statistics Canada Labour Force Survey released Friday shows.

The country as a whole created 54,000 jobs, so Ontario was the main driver of employment growth for the month. ...

A deeper dive into the September numbers reveals that a boom in public sector employment masked a decrease in private sector jobs of 12,100 positions.

Stats Canada figures provided to the Toronto Sun shows that Ontario saw a whopping increase in public sector employment in September of 51,900 jobs.

The number of self-employed rose by 1,300 positions.
