In reply to Jack Handy. The people who were retrained largely retrained in the previous year. Stats Can specified the change was not in composition.

A million people retrained at home because they were stuck at home or had to because there was no consistent job because of the pandemic or a job that plays less than a living wage or temporary part time employment with no benefits with a long commute to a location. Now its even better with new economic pressures and inflation of 5%. I hear there is a real demand for long haul truck drivers and Healthcare workers are leaving their work.

Canadian employers don’t have to raise wages, just import >400k new immigrants. Problem solved. Canadian immigration rate is much higher than US, which partially explains the disparity in wage growth.

Where did these people go.? Are they all rich and don’t need to work, did they leave the country. Did they die from covid, are these all retirees. Please explain how a million jobs are suddenly available because the economy was in the toilet before the pandemic.
