Ebook: Unemployment Crisis

High unemployment dominates the Canadian social reality of the 1990s. Lay-offs, cutbacks, and corporate downsizings during the 1990-93 recession created a pervasive economic insecurity that remains a problem. The Unemployment Crisis, a collection of essays based on the first annual economic policy conference held at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, explores the severity of the 1990-93 recession, the reasons for the crisis, and what governments can do today to make low unemployment a reality.
