From the point of view of where lost manufacturing jobs are going, there are two things you can look at. One is, we know they are being replaced, because we continue to look at unemployment rates that are at 30-year lows. So we know that people are getting re-employed; the more interesting question is, what they are being re-employed as.
The CIBC job quality index is an interesting indicator, because it gives some sense of where those jobs are coming from. Some of the higher-quality jobs are being created in the public sector, not just in the private sector.
There also seems to be a shift even within manufacturing. It's the lower-wage manufacturing jobs in general that seem to be dropping off. In some cases, there are higher-end sectors of manufacturing that are growing.
I think we are also seeing, even within manufacturing companies, a shift in the kinds of jobs. The automotive sector is an interesting example of that. In Ontario we are now seeing a building up of the research and design kind of employment within the auto sector, and not just of the assembly plants and the parts operation.
It's moving up the value chain that is important to Canada, and certainly something that public policy ought to encourage.
