Talking About Youth Unemployment on The Agenda

Last night I was on TVO's The Agenda with Steve Paikin discussing youth unemployment in segment called "Canada's Jobless Generation". Check out the video here. It was an interesting panels with the other participants being: Andrew Jackson of the Canadian Labour Congress; Nancy Schaefer of Youth Employment Services; Craig Alexander of TD Economics; and, Doug Anderson of Harris/Decima. The discussion was fascinating and really exposed the lack of action on the part of governments and the corporate sector in Canada on job creation for youth, the deterioration of active labour strategies, and how the changes to the economy have disadvantaged an entire generation.
