<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 10, 2012) Profits on Wall Street are going to be up this year, according to a new report from New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. But he says they&apos;re still below their pre-recession highs. The report also finds fewer job losses in the securities industry, but still many economic uncertainties ahead.

<title>Canada boosts recession-era prosperity with government jobs, new borrowing</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 30, 2011) This week, we’re looking at the very different way that Canada has experienced the Great Recession, when compared to the North Country. In partnership with WBEZ public radio in Chicago, Brian Mann has been traveling this week in Ontario, comparing the situation in the US with life on the ground in Canada.  One of the biggest differences he’s been finding is in government. This week, the New York Times reported that deep cuts have hit the public sector here in the US. But those same deep government cuts haven’t occurred (at least not yet) north of the border.Brian talked about the role government jobs have played in Canada, contrasted with the downsizing that has swept the US.

<title>Does Canada&apos;s economy offer clues, ideas that could help the North Country?</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 28, 2011) This week we&apos;ll be looking in-depth at the very different ways that the recession has hit Canada.    Over the last three years, communities and workers north of the border have fared much better than their counterparts here in the North Country. Unemployment on the Canadian side of the lakes is far lower — around 8% in Ontario and 7.7% in Quebec.  In fact, through the Great Recession, Ontario and Quebec have actually grown jobs. And workers in those provinces who lose their positions can expect to be out of work for only half as long before they find a new job, when compared with workers in the US.  In a partnership with WBEZ public radio in Chicago, Brian Mann is traveling in Canada, talking with experts and workers.  He spoke with Martha Foley.
