A new report examines the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on the BC job market and on different groups of workers a year into the pandemic.

CCPA research doesn’t just sit on a shelf gathering dust. Every month, we are featured in hundreds of media stories. We work proactively to balance media coverage of issues like the economy, poverty, the growing gap between the rich and the rest of us, climate change, health care, education, and much more.

Our experts are in high demand as media commentators, promoting solutions that unite, rather than divide, Canadians. Both politicians and policy makers turn to CCPA research when they need credible non-partisan analysis.
