It is widely known that there is a labour shortage these days. Please forgive me for using the Canadian spelling for labor.


Anyway, many businesses closed temporarily or permanently as a result of the pandemic, primarily in the service and hospitality sectors. So, all the help wanted positions you see out there in many cases are minimum wage jobs or close. And I wholeheartedly agree with CJD that a professional taking a low paying position can be a career destroyer sometimes.

I won't get into my personal situation, but the timing of leaving the company I worked as a contractor for back in 2018 turned out to be particularly bad timing for me to be changing careers. I only hope I can resume decent earning power once again before I really am too old.

Another reason for the labour shortage is that there has been virtually no immigration, at least to Canada, in the past almost 2 years.
