Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202501000003
Description: Recently imposed tariffs on Canadian exports by the United States could reduce U.S. demand for Canadian products and, consequently, potentially lead to job losses in industries dependent on U.S. demand for Canadian exports. Although it is too early to know how workers in industries dependent on U.S. demand for Canadian exports might adapt to potential job losses, the purpose of this article is to examine historical patterns of their post-displacement labour market outcomes, which could yield valuable insights.
