According to the report, the region’s working poor are almost twice as likely to be employed in sales and service jobs than the rest of the working-age population, and they work just as much. Almost three out of four are immigrants, and almost half are single or lone parents. More than half have some post-secondary education, about the same as the average Canadian worker. Almost 60 per cent are renters, and more than 60 per cent are between the ages of 18 and 44. Bear in mind that this was the picture during the region’s boom times.
