Article says: "We were all agog last week when Statistics Canada reported that employment surged by 35,000 in October. And rightly so, as Canada has now created 208,000 jobs over the course of a year."

Unfortunately, the article doesn't say how many of these jobs were "public sector" versus "private sector" jobs and only fleetingly mentions "full-time" versus "part-time" jobs.

Canada really needs more "private sector" jobs that contribute meaningfully to the Canadian economy rather than "public sector" jobs that do not and only add to the increased cost of government.

More details would have helped one to properly assess the value of those 208,000 jobs.
