Ahead of the “How Are Canadians Reacting to the Shortage Economy?” webinar, David Coletto conducted a large national survey of Canadian adults (n=2,210) and explored several aspects of the economic and social experiences that the shortage economy may be having on Canadians — including questions about supply chains, labour shortages, remote work, and confidence in government support amid the COVID-19 economy.
Specifically, David Coletto wanted to try and answer two questions: How are Canadians experiencing the shortage economy what does it mean for leaders?

METHODOLOGY
The survey data used in this study is from a national online survey of 2,210 Canadian adults from January 7 to 12, 2022. A random sample of panelists were invited to complete the survey from a set of partner panels based on the Lucid exchange platform. These partners are typically double opt-in survey panels, blended to manage out potential skews in the data from a single source.
The margin of error for a comparable probability-based random sample of the same size is +/- 2.1%, 19 times out of 20.
The data were weighted according to census data to ensure that the sample matched Canada’s population according to age, gender, educational attainment, and region. Totals may not add up to 100 due to rounding.
