I raised the question as to what’s going on up there north of the border. I guess someone was paying attention because I got my answer. On July 9th I read a report by The Canadian Press quoting a popular U.S. website that has a unique suggestion for Americans desperately seeking work. The advice? “Move to Canada.” The accompanying headline says: “Need A Job? Try Canada, Where Hiring Is Booming And Home Prices Are Rising.”
The article tells readers: “Stubbornly high unemployment rates got you down? Not sold on the economic recovery? Look no further than America’s polite neighbor to the north, where jobs numbers are surging and home prices have been rising steadily for nearly a year. That article states that Canada’s economy added a whopping 93,200 new jobs last month; the U.S., meanwhile, continues to struggle with unemployment woes. “Last month, Canada, a nation with roughly one tenth of our population, created about 10,000 more new jobs than America.”
It only figures that along with people getting back to work consumables and commodities start moving too. That’s good news for anyone in the tire business.
Keep on burning rubber Canada, and remember: keep your head up and your stick on the ice…
