Economy and Labour
The economy involves people, businesses and governments. Together they produce, distribute and consume goods and services. Historically, Canada’s economy has relied on the extraction of natural resources, people working in different industries and trade. Economists can learn about these subjects from the perspective of microeconomics, which studies the behaviours of workers, consumers or business firms. Macroeconomics is another perspective, which investigates broader economic issues, such as employment or international trade.
