Our analysis of the 2022 federal budget
On April 7th, Minister of Finance, Chrystia Freeland, announced this year’s federal budget, highlighting housing affordability as one of its top three priorities.
For the first time in recent memory (if ever) housing was the headline issue of the federal budget. Budget 2022 ushered in over $14 billion dollars in housing spending – fully one-third of all new spending.
The Workforce Planning Board of Waterloo Wellington Dufferin is hosting the EmployerOne Webinar showcasing the trends and changes we saw in the local labour market last year. At the webinar we will present the findings and methodology of the survey. Attendees will be provided with opportunities to ask questions. The event is open to everyone.
 
Each year the annual EmployerOne Survey conducted by the Workforce Planning Board allows businesses to share important information about hiring challenges and specific workforce needs. This year 558 employers completed the survey. We transformed the data collected into valuable, easy to comprehend information needed to serve the local labour market and our community.
Thank you to over 40 of the community partners who promoted EmployerOne Survey and collected the responses.

They include key statistics about everything from employment to volunteerism and how the sector is funded. Up-to-date data about the nonprofit sector facilitates a deeper understanding of how the sector contributes to Canadian society. These infographics were created as an initiative of the Federal Data Working Group.
