Today, I sat down with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce to learn about their new Business Data Lab 📊, which is providing small biz with information to help them navigate changing market rates and landscapes. Check it out for some helpful business data & stats ➡️ bdl-lde.ca

It was a pleasure to welcome the Minister of Small Business Rechie Valdez to our office for an exclusive look into our Business Data Lab's dedicated efforts to empower 🇨🇦 small business through data-driven insights and to hear more about the govt’s priorities in the months ahead.

Does anyone have LFS educational attainment in Canada by NAICS 2-digit industries? % of employees with university or graduate degrees? I see this STC table, www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.… but presumably need the PUMF for the cross-tab. Ideas? Dr. Tammy Schirle 🍺 Mikal Skuterud #CdnEcon

I’ve been a green grape person for many years. I just realized that they taste the same.
