Shocking Aspects of Canadian Labor Markets / Bennett Sutton, Tamim Bayoumi, Andrew Swiston.

We find that Canadian labor markets respond in a similar manner to their U.S. counterparts and are more flexible than those in major euro area countries. Within Canada, the results indicate that labor markets in Ontario and provinces further west are more flexible, particularly with regard to migration, while those further east are less so.
