本周，多段視頻和求職相關的視頻在TikTok上瘋傳，這些視頻揭示了安省初級職位求職者正在麵臨激烈的競爭。

前幾天，在多倫多一家超市舉辦的招聘會上，前來求職的人大排長龍。而這次在安省一家麥當勞的招聘現場，這樣的事情再次出現，現在這些視頻在網上引發了大量討論。

在多倫多周邊Kitchener的一家麥當勞的招聘會上，出現了更多令人吃驚的鏡頭。這段簡短的視頻顯示，隊伍從招聘會會場開始，穿過停車場，繞過街區。視頻說明裏寫著“當你來參加麥當勞招聘會時，會看見有300人在街上排隊”。‍

拍攝者在帖子的標題中澄清說，這段視頻是在大門還沒打開的時候拍攝的，人們從早上7點就開始排隊了。她補充說：“在這裏找到一份工作簡直是妄想。”

剛看到這個畫麵的時候，許多網友以為這是在排隊搶購演唱會門票或降價商品，在得知這竟然是來求職的人的時候，大家都在感慨加拿大現在到底發生了什麽。

一位網友寫道：“我隻想在多倫多找一份最低工資的工作，已經找了4個月了。到處申請，都沒找到”。

另一位網友也說：“我排了 4 個小時的隊，隻為了得到一個收銀員的麵試機會。”

失控的通貨膨脹讓生活成本不斷飆升，加上房價過高和加息，許多加拿大人的經濟狀況比以往任何時候都更加岌岌可危。

加拿大的移民數量也達到了曆史最高水平，經濟學家認為，這是導致房價居高不下、需求旺盛的關鍵因素，一些留學生和難民找不到工作，隻能流落街頭。

TD Economics的一份新報告稱，加拿大的人口增長意味著會出現“教科書式的需求衝擊。為了讓新老加拿大人更好地融入社會，讓人們充分發揮潛力，我們可以做的事情還有很多。”

Hundreds lining up to apply at Ontario McDonald's shows reality of job market for some

Aug 2, 2023

Many videos are going viral on TikTok this week for shedding light on the fierce competition people seeking entry-level jobs in Ontario are currently facing.

Clips of unimaginable numbers of people applying for positions at local grocery stores and other companies that have held hiring events in recent days are sparking tons of conversation online, mostly about the "fake dream" that newcomers to Canada say they were sold.

More footage of yet another surprisingly large turnout to a job fair near Toronto has emerged, this time for a McDonald's in Kitchener.

The brief recording shows what looks to be a hundreds-long lineup trailing out of the education centre that was hosting the event and going through the parking lot and around the block, an overlay reading "When you come for a McDonald's job fair and there's like 300 people lined up down the street."

The filmer clarified in the caption of the post that the clip was caught well before the doors had even opened and that "People must have been lined up since 7 a.m."

"It's literally impossible to find a job here," she added.

Many in the comments are shocked to find out that the line wasn't for some kind of sought-after concert tickets or exclusive merchandise drop, and are wondering what the heck is going on in Canada right now.

Others added their own experiences (and disappointments) in the local job market lately, with one woman writing "I've been trying to find a minimum wage job in Toronto for 4 months. Applied everywhere and there is no place."

"I waited in line for 4 hours just to be turned down for a cashier interview," another added.

With elevated interest rates, a cost of living that keeps surging through the roof thanks to out-of-control inflation, and a limited, overpriced supply of housing, many Canadians are in a more precarious financial position than ever.

Immigration to the country is also at an all-time high — something economists say is the key factor keeping things, especially housing, so pricey and in demand — with some international students and refugee claimants living on the streets and struggling to find work.

"A lot can be done to better integrate both new and existing Canadians so that people can reach their full potential. It can't just be a matter of bringing in an unchecked amount of people to take the lower paying jobs on offer," a new report from TD Economics reads, calling Canada's population growth "textbook demand shock."
