I learned about the unemployment rates in Canada.  The thing that surprised me the most is that Canada has a lower unemployment rate compared to the U.S. since 2010.

This topic is relevant and interesting to me because my mother is currently looking for work.  I can tell her that Canada has a lower unemployment rate than the U.S. and that she more likely to find work here than in the U.S. It takes time and sometimes it can be difficult but having a positive attitude can make you a better individual.  Feeling depressed is common among unemployed workers, and this study helps me understand how she might feel.

The research I found most interesting was Video #1 because it expressed a student’s point of view of how unemployment affected this individual.  It talked about how people have reacted to changes in unemployment rates.

In this padlet we will look at factors that fall under unemployment and how the economy is affected by the unemployment rate. Some of the factors include  looking at different unemployment rates in provinces in Canada,  a graph that compares unemployment rates between Canada and the U.S and how unemployment can lead to depression.

Unemployment can contribute to depression. Unemployment is not just an economic problem it is also a psychological problem. People can afford less, they can feel isolated and worthless.

I picked this picture because it shows the different rates of unemployment in the provinces in Canada. The unemployment rates are highest in the eastern provinces and in the territory of Nunavut.

This video talks about students who graduate from different college programs. It talks about the programs in college that have the highest unemployment rates and the lowest unemployment rates. Students graduating from a psychology program have less chances of getting a job.Other programs to avoid are architecture and library science. A good college program is pharmacology.
I kind of liked this video because, i wanted to hear more about the good programs in college that lead to a better future.

This video talks about how unemployment has fallen and is considered a good thing to many people.Unemployment is dropping in many countries. Why are economists not more satisfied? Why is the economy still slow? This is because the statistics do not consider labor participation of those who are discouraged and no longer looking for work.. Unemployment rates are actually higher than they appear.

This video talks about how this student graduated with honors from the university of Toronto. Afterwards, she started looking for a job like every student would consider looking for a job. By 2013, the unemployment rate got higher again and she wasn't able to make as much money as she is currently.

This website touches base on how the unemployment rate in other countries is higher than the unemployment rate in Canada.  This website talks about how Canada is currently  dealing with several different problems and cannot lower their unemployment rates. One of the problems is that the eastern provinces are performing poorly. But the government is trying its best to keep Canada in the lead with the unemployment rates.

This website talk about how the unemployment rate has dropped for the first time in forty years in Canada. It talks about how the unemployment rate has been this low since 2008 till about 2009. Another thing that this website discusses is the fact that Canada has developed a lot more jobs than what it was able to develop in the previous years. The website touches base on how this impacted the community which faced a lot of depression.

This website talks about unemployment rates in Canada and how Canada has the lowest rates in about forty years. In this website you will see a graph associated with unemployment rates. Unemployment has fallen down to 5.7% which means that Canada's economy is growing and doing very well.  Mostly full time jobs have been added, with some part time jobs.
When unemployment rates go down, interest rates go up.  The Bank of Canada increased its interest rates earlier this year. Overall the Bank of Canada is doing well in managing its interest rates.
