It's true not many people need work, so the lack of open roles isn't critical to the economy. But not everyone is happy at their job.

    We’re going back to the period between 2008 and 2020 where employers didn’t want to pay for well educated and experienced professionals and it was impossible to negotiate your salary.

    Is what you’re citing industry or region specific? In technology those years represented explosive growth and wage increases.

      I’m a software engineer. In Canada. There was no explosive growth. Only layoffs and stagnant wages. There was a huge brain drain to the US during that period. Many of my university friends ended up in the states.

        I know many wonderful Canadian brothers and sisters that have come from up north. Its always been one of those strange things to me that my Canadian friends can’t get even close to the same pay in Canada as the USA. I imagine there are many reasons for it.

        I suppose we can say that those Canadians experienced the explosive growth in wages too, just not inside Canada.
