I did not say for employers to let them go, I said if the 905 crowd chose to leave due to traffic congestion of getting to work, then those jobs would be available. An employer is not going to fire people that live in the 905 just to get the 416 crpwd get the jobs. Thats not what i said. And by the way there are plenty of qualified people in Toronto, more than in the 905 I am sure.
And by the way when I was unemployed and went to a workshop we were told that employers do look at addresses. If for example one has an address in a not so great area (even in Toronto, for example if that address has been in the news, it does affect an employers perception of inviting that person for an interview as would someone living in a 905 area because an employer would be concerned that person may not be able to do o/t, due to Go schedules, etc, I was surprised at all that but ti made sense. I have worked i offices where as soon as that clock striked a certain hour, employees would take off because it was like "gotta get that Go". And I remember thinking it was not fair that they would be able to use that excuse for leaving and not have to do o/t. And if I thought that I am sure managers did to. And employers are returning back to Toronto to find "young talent and to retain employees" who want to work and live near by with no commutes. As the president of Oxford Properties said "The Canadian dream is to live and work downtown.”
