What can be done to create meaningful, sustainable, family-supporting jobs in BC?
This question can be a bit overwhelming, we realize. But that doesn’t have to stop us from taking steps forward. That’s why CCPA-BC senior economist Iglika Ivanova asked some of BC’s leading thinkers for their ‘one idea’ to create good jobs.
The CCPA-BC has produced easy to use resources for people interested in leading a conversation about the relationship between taxes, our quality of life and our ability to reduce inequality. These are ideal for teachers to use, or for anyone wanting to lead a discussion in their workplace, home or community.
