Live Roundtable Discussion
Canada’s natural-resources sector in general, and oil and gas in particular, has counteracted the trend of job polarization by providing well-paying, mid-skilled jobs that have sustained Canada’s middle class in recent decades. What are the consequences of the demise of this sector? How might we envision environmental policy that considers the human and community costs and benefits of such work? Join us on Wednesday, December 16, from 1-2:30pm EST for a roundtable discussion on Cardus’s recent paper “Fuelling Canada's Middle Class: Job Polarization and the Natural Resource Sector.”
