Sifting through the sands. Unpacking the hourglass
This report is a deep analysis that points to even greater polarization in Toronto's labour market and the need for interventions that create career pathways and opportunities
This report deepens the analysis of our first report "An Economy out of Shape: Changing the Hourglass" by expanding the categories and comparing knowledge workers to those in entry-level occupations. The purpose of the report is to unpack the two ends of the labour market — the Knowledge Work and Entry-level jobs categories. The results of this analysis point to even greater polarization in Toronto's labour market and a need for interventions that create career pathways and greater opportunities.
