Diverging SEPH and LFS estimates receiving more attention. Explanations given miss main factor - surging NPR population and impact on LFS sampling weights. Time for @StatCan_eng to provide clarity. nationalpost.com/news/economy/j…
Another week done. Time for some old skool and a beer. See ya on the flip side. 🍻 🎶
@gldinvestor @mikalskuterud No, this doesn't confirm that "media questions are pre-screened by handlers." And Mikal, thanks for input but we got input from a lot of people and only used a small fraction.
My colleague, @MikkoPackalen, has long argued that economists failed in assessing the costs of COVID public health measures, especially the costs imposed on our children. I struggle to disagree with him.

Likely why PMO preferring these outlets!
I've been told by someone with experience that the Shadow Minister of Immigration is the worst job in Parliament because the only job expectation is to never touch the third rail. When criticism in an entire policy domain is shut down, we have a failure of democracy.

Polite, indeed. The show’s producer emailed me and my coauthors in advance asking for questions on immigration to pose to the PM. We offered two hard balls. Neither was asked.

LPC taking much blame for immigration debacle but good governance needs effective opposition. On immigration, CPC and NDP opposition has in recent years been little better than useless.
"an increase in industry concentration and a decline in firm entry rates have a negative effect on firm investment, and the effect is larger among small firms."

@mikalskuterud @Andrew_Griffith To Mikal's point. I think it's fair to say some economists were ahead of the curve on this. Here's a column I wrote almost exactly a year ago on this exact thing. financialpost.com/news/economy/e…
And then they were down to 27. Most recent departures appear to be Willa Black (formerly VP, Cisco Canada) and Murad Al-Katib (President and CEO, AGT Food and Ingredients).

*NEW* As of February 2024, there were 0.57 million job vacancies in this country and 1.23 million job seekers. Little change from January 2024. Have we reached a new steady state or will labour markets continue to slacken in the months ahead?
A “more is always better” belief in the potential of immigration has defined the LPC’s economic agenda since 2015. Levels have surged in *all* programs and streams. How the consequences can now be pinned on academia is beyond me. Seems a convenient scapegoat for the red team.

I would nuance your comment by noting that *many* academics have questioned the LPC immigration agenda but have been ignored or hesitant to express their concerns publicly for fear of being deemed anti-immigrant or worse.

🧵 Here's an updated look at how employers are using the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. I thought companies would throttle back their use of TFWP because of rising unemployment, lots of int'l students already in Canada, etc. I was wrong. (1/9)
Canada’s government will keep economic productivity down by any means necessary.

@EricDLombardi @mikalskuterud Fwiw I think this is conflating two things. 1. In many provinces governments strongly encouraged higher education to rely on international students rather than tax revenue for funding. Higher education has not much blame there, and it’s the biggest part of story.
Important thread. The Feds really let the TFW program get out of control.

For years, approvals in the low and high-wage streams were largely similar. Then a gap emerges in early 2022. In April of that year, the federal gov't allowed companies to hire a larger % of their staff from the low-wage stream. (6/9)
