There’s a growing disconnect between young people looking for work and the small businesses that need them.

In a new interview, Dan Kelly, President and CEO of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, joins Amanda Lang on @BNNBloomberg to break down the numbers behind youth employment in Canada and what can be done to close the gap.

CFIB’s latest report shows youth unemployment has reached its highest level in 15 years outside the pandemic, even as many small businesses struggle to fill entry‑level roles.

According to CFIB's latest research, youth unemployment in Canada is at its highest level in 15 years outside the pandemic. This creates challenges not only for young people entering the workforce, but also for the small businesses that have traditionally provided first job opportunities.

CFIB President Dan Kelly joined @therundowntvo host Jeyan Jeganathan (@JeyanTVO) to discuss what's driving the slowdown in hiring, what it means for young job seekers, and what needs to change to help small businesses create more opportunities for the next generation of workers.

Young Canadians are facing one of the toughest job markets in years 📉

Missing out on early work experience can slow skill development, delay future entrepreneurship, and impact important life milestones.

At the same time, small businesses, which employ 64% of Canada’s private-sector workforce, are navigating high costs and economic uncertainty, making it harder to create entry-level opportunities and train the next generation of talent.

Small businesses continue to play a major role in youth employment 🤝

But rising payroll costs, weak consumer demand, and limited capacity to train inexperienced workers are making hiring more difficult for many employers 📉
