What is Job Churning?

Quotes: He is one of the workers Finance Minister Bill Morneau alluded to when he told Canada’s youth to get used to “job churn” – jumping from “job to job to job.” The comments angered some young workers, who booed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau when he attended a labour forum this week.

Justin Trudeau/LiberalsAfter ten years under Stephen Harper, good-quality job opportunities for young Canadians are tougher and tougher to find. Faced with high unemployment and underemployment, many young people have stopped looking for work altogether. This is hard for both young people and their families. Many parents are seeing their household debt rise and retirement savings dwindle as they struggle to support their grown children, who often return home. It is time to invest in young Canadians – to help them get the work experience they will need to start their careers and contribute fully to our economy. – Source – 2015 Liberal Campaign Promise
