This is what an Angus Reid poll has concluded from a sampling of 2,542 Canadian adults. I’m not surprised and below I make some attributions for the troubling statistic:
1. Trade school not seriously introduced to 16 and 17 year olds in our system of education
2. Liberal culture unsupportive of propelling the individual toward entrepreneurship
3. Propensity to defer responsibility
4. Proliferation of employment agencies and head hunters buffering effect of take home pay
5. Opportunity cost associated with young adults pampered at home by their parents
6. Inconvenient and costly legal system incapable of expeditiously handling contract disputes
7. Poor partnering of industry and education system
8. Absent household budgeting / undisciplined allocation of after tax dollars
9. Psychological compulsion to showcase lifestyle undeserving of income
10. Employer payroll costs effect on tempering wages
