A new survey by the Bank of Montreal finds 69 per cent of post-secondary students have found summer employment.
BMO Managing Director Mark Shoniker says it’s a good sign for the Canadian economy and the most positive survey results were found in the prairie provinces.
“The strongest results were coming out of places like Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta,” Shoniker tells 660News. “Those that were doing okay, but not necessarily as strong as some of the othe provinces, the findings were not quite as strong.”
He says Ontario would be an example of a province that isn’t seeing such a positive economic rebound with only 30 per cent of students finding full-time summer work.
