Employers are using the TFW program for occupations that they barely considered a few years ago.

Case in point: administrative assistants.

Companies were approved to hire > 3,500 of these positions last year, an increase of 3,090% from 2016.

Here's an example: the Ontario Disability Support Program. Payments are now adjusted for inflation, but that follows a lengthy period of erosion.

Adjusted for inflation, total annual incomes in 2022 were down 34% from a peak in the early 90s.
