An Introduction to the Canadian Labour Market is designed for prospective human resource professionals. The text avoids the highly sophisticated statistical techniques that have come to characterize the field over the last two decades. Concepts are presented in non-technical language without relying on mathematical equations. Four goals define the book’s practical approach: 1) to inform the reader about major trends and developments in the Canadian labour market; 2) provide explanation for these real-world developments and labour market outcomes; 3) show why economists sometimes disagree; and 4) teach the reader to apply labour market theory to analyses of current events and labour policy issues.

From the Executive Summary: In 1966, Canadian earnings exceeded those in the United States in only 2 out of 63 industries examined on an exchange-rate-adjusted basis. By 1976, rapid increases in Canadian earnings had led to a situtation where 54 of 63 Canadian industries exceeded parity with the United States. Since the mid-1970s relative Canadian earnings have declined: by 1986 only 13 of 63 Canadian industries examined were at or above parity.
