Breakfast with Aron Gampel - April 17th
written by Dave Cage

On Thursday morning, April 17th, Aron Gampel, Vice President and Deputy Chief Economist for Scotiabank, addressed members and guests of the Stoney Creek Chamber of Commerce at Chandelier Place in Stoney Creek.

 

Mr Gampel was speaking on the general state of the economy and said the US economy is contracting and going through a particularly difficult time. Due to the fact the Canadian and US economies are tied together in the manufacturing sector, the US downturn is having a negative effect on Ontario.  Overall Canadians are relatively confident and the Canadian economy as a whole is continuing to grow, and attract new jobs, but at a slower rate than some of the developing counties in the world.  For example, in the first three months of the year there was a net increase of 126,000 new jobs in Canada, compared to a net loss of 300,000 jobs in the US.
