I live in Toronto and work in banking. I
have been out of work for the last year. Over the last six or seven
years, I have had only short-term contracts of under 4 months. I have
been unemployed longer than I have been employed over those years.
For those who might think that I need to get more qualifications, I will say that I already have the following credentials: a
CFA,
FRM,
MBA. Still, I am able to get
only
$20/hr entry level contract jobs, which have nothing to do with my
credentials. Might there be something else underlying my career
failures?
I really have to question Trudeau's obsession with Canada's employment
equity "problem" and the quest to create "diversity" at the expense of
White employees like myself. And I really have to ask, is there
discrimination against Euro-Canadians? From the employment equity
reports I have seen, it seems Banking/Finance companies have done
extremely well in addressing any under-representation of minorities in
employment. In fact, visible minorities are overrepresented.
Unfortunately, in these reports, you will not see a single number about
White or male representation or availability. So you cannot tell from
the reports if the success in minority employment comes at the expense
of lower employment of Whites.
