Maxine‘s blog concerning the article discussing the issue with part-time jobs in Canada has interested me as I was truly unaware that this country faced just a devastating problem.

I agree with Maxine that the biggest issue is that this problem affects the working class of Canadian’s between 25-54 years old, the people that need a full time job the most. These people are at the age of their woking period were they should have “regular hours that let [them] plan [their] life and save a little for retirement”. The income they are gaining won’t be good enough to be able to support a family or form one. The Canadian economy cannot be efficient if their workforce is unable to work to their maximum potential. This problem needs to be dealt somehow as workers are willing to work full-time. Another concern with involuntary part-time jobs are that they not only effect the low-class but the issue is starting to rise in the middle income class too. The problem needs to be dealt with fast before it becomes catastrophic.
