Description
Guests: Kelly Matheson, a recently retired teacher, and David Macdonald, senior economist at Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. During the pandemic, Americans quit their jobs in such high numbers that the trend was dubbed The Great Resignation. Economists watched for signs of it in Canada, but it just did not happen here. It seems instead more people are retiring, and many at a younger age. The Great Retirement could have serious ramifications as it affects industries like health care and education, and leaves the question if it could become more widespread. This episode was produced by Alexis Green, Matthew Hearn and Raju Mudhar.
