Jobs go begging with high unemployment levels

The stuff we ignore

Big headline from the CBC’s Content Assembly Facility: NL businesses say they’re still struggling to find workers. Experts say there is a simple solution.

Really good example of content assembly, which in this case means filling space without really getting into the real story. The workers in CBC’s content assembly sweatshop on the Parkway repackaged an episode of the lunch time radio show The Signal. It featured someone from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and someone else from an ostensibly left wing or “progressive” political front group, both of whom only had their talking points without any useful information.

A completely lazy set-up that relies on the worn out trope that pits “labour” against “management.”

In the process, they ignore the actual story - or really multiple stories - and the audience is misinformed in the process.

Start with this one: we are in a province with the highest rate of unemployment rate in the country.

Not a secret.

Not new.

It was in the news.

On the Cee Bee Cee.
