We decided not to include many of the graphics in Fearful Symmetry, in part because of the technical difficulties in doing so, and in part because books with lots of graphs, charts and tables are, my publisher assures me, very unpopular with the reading public. They look like work rather than fun. That doesn’t mean, however, that we can’t make them available to you. From time to time I will publish some of them here on the blog. Here is one of my favourites: it shows in a very powerful way the turning point in the labour supply as we go from the Boomer-era of unemployment to the labour shortages of the post-Boomer period. This draws on some fine work by Roger Sauvé, Labour Crunch to 2021: National and Provincial Labour Force Projections, (Summerstown, Ont.: People Patterns Consulting, March 2007), amended with updated Finance projections.
