Young Canadians are taking longer to find jobs than in decades, study says

Young people in Canada who lose their jobs are taking longer to find new ones. A study by the C.D. Howe Institute, a research group, looked at jobless people aged 20 to 24. Among these men, 27% have looked for work for six months or more. That is the highest share since 1983. For women, it is 28%, the highest since at least 1976. This year, university graduates did no better than people with only high school. The study points to slow hiring and worry about U.S. tariffs, or import taxes. It found little proof AI is taking their jobs.
