The youth unemployment rate in Canada has recently soared, and one expert is pointing to workers from other countries coming to Canada as one of the reasons.
The overall unemployment rate for youth (aged 15 to 24) rose 0.9 percentage points to 13.5 per cent in June, according to a report from Statistics Canada (StatCan).
That number was the highest rate since September 2014, outside of 2020 and 2021 during the pandemic, according to the report.
