Over $432 billion(38) was collected by all levels of government in Canada in the past year in income taxes (individual and corporate), property taxes, consumption taxes, health premiums, social insurance contributions, etc. If more Canadians were able to connect with steady work roles they consider appropriate, all levels of government could anticipate increased revenues. A 1 percent improvement here would generate over $4 billion annually in increased government revenues. A 5 percent improvement would yield a $20 billion annual windfall for all levels of government.
The ability of Canadians to make effective connections to meaningful work is the underpinning of improvement in each of these areas. Excellent career information and mastery of career management skills can help them make these connections. If even a small percentage of Canadians increase their mastery of career management skills, the savings can be enormous. Consider the impact on the Canadian economy and society of freeing up that amount of money, no matter how it might be redirected!
