(OTTAWA)--Although the economic well-being of Canadian workers has improved notably in the past two years, it remains significantly poorer than before the last recession, mainly because of a sharp decline in social programs and income security measures.
This is the finding of a new study prepared for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives by Amanda Brown of York University and Jim Stanford of the Canadian Auto Workers.
