Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the skilled trades : Canada Emergency Response Benefit / by Sophia Su and Hyeongsuk Jin.: CS81-595/2021-6E-PDF

However, journeypersons in different trades had different impacts. Some sectors deemed non-essential services were hit harder than sectors deemed essential services. In addition, geographic variations in easing and reinstating restrictions over time affected journeypersons and apprentices across regions differently. Using data from the Education and Labour Market Longitudinal Platform, this study examines the proportion of journeypersons who received the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) among those who certified between 2008 and 2019.
