Unemployment benefits harder to get on Cape Breton.

Okay, let me get this straight:


  • 1)The unemployment rate is high, so people leave to get jobs. This makes the numbers go down.

  • 2)When that happens, the number of hours required to work to be eligible for unemployment benefits goes UP.

  • 3)When that happens, more people leave, so the rate goes down even more.

  • 4)Go to step 2, lather, rinse, repeat.


Vicious cycle much, Canada?

I could be totally off, here. It happens.

And not that it's my place to say anything, because it's totally not. Erm?
