In 2025, 437,000 young Canadians were looking for work and couldn’t find it, a 57 percent increase in joblessness for the demographic of 15 to 24 years old over just three years. The average young person spent an average of about 16 weeks searching for a new job in 2025, up nearly a month and a half from 2022.
Canada’s youth unemployment rate hit 19.5 percent for 15- to 19-year-olds, a level that has historically only appeared during severe recessions—yet the broader economy was not in recession, but growing at an anemic 1.7 percent of real GDP.
Carney and his corporate crony’s are more than happy to rob a generation of their future just to line their pockets.
