Tokyo (CNN)The mayor of Japan's third-largest city is facing a public backlash after he suggested men are better suited to grocery shopping during the coronavirus pandemic, because women take too long and contribute to overcrowding at supermarkets.
Should have interrupted and shut this nonsense down.
Roughly five per cent of the Canadian labour force, or one million people, are now out of work because of COVID-19. A further 10 per cent worked less than half of their usual hours, none in some cases, despite technically remaining employed. In Toronto — which has experienced an unprecedented employment boom over the past five years — at least 25 per cent of all jobs have now been wiped out.
Almost seven million to date, more than a third of the number of Canadians who had a job in mid-March have filed for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit
Macdonald’s analysis shows that between February and March, a third of all jobs paying less than $14 an hour were either eliminated or had their working hours decrease by at least half.
In a recent note, economist David Rosenberg warned that this income disparity could have far-reaching effects.
“First, from an aggregate demand standpoint, these low-income people spend most of what they earn,” he said. “Second, it will not go unrecognized from a political standpoint how the ‘have-nots’ in this crisis fell even further behind the ‘haves.’ This will have a future impact on taxation policy; if not, we can expect some sort of civil unrest.”
