In the spring of this year, youth unemployment in Canada reached its highest level since 2016, while youth unemployment in Toronto was higher than the national average, with some young people indicating that it was difficult for them to find employment. On Tuesday, Christine Erhirhie, a first-year undergraduate at the University of Toronto in Mississippi, told CBC Radio ' s Metro Morning ' s program. She has been trying to find a summer job since February, but for nothing.

Statistics Canada ' s latest data, dated April 2024, show that Canada has a youth unemployment rate of 12.8 per cent, the highest since July 2016, excluding 2020 and 2021 during the new crown epidemic. Seasonally adjusted data show a 3.5 per cent increase in the national unemployment rate for young women and a 2.3 per cent increase in the unemployment rate for young men. Statistics Canada noted that unemployment data for Toronto youth had not been adjusted seasonally and that some nuances were needed in time-series comparisons. However, youth unemployment in the city was higher in April, reaching 16.8 per cent. The younger population outnumbers the younger generation. This is the highest figure since April 2014, when the youth unemployment rate was 16.3 per cent — the same two years that did not include the period of the epidemic.
