Quebec linguistic groups separated by strong labour divide, report shows
A report prepared by an independent provincial organization reveals a stark labour divide between Quebec Anglophones and Francophones.
The 44-page document prepared by the Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT) illustrates Quebec’s Francophones have a higher employment level and earn more money compared to their Anglophone counterparts.
Some argue the English education system needs to do a better job in improving French language skills with English-speaking students.
”We cannot afford as a society in Quebec to be educating young people for them to go to another province,” said Sylvia Martin-Laforge of the Quebec Community Groups Network.
