- “We’re number two! We’re number two!” U.S. News still exists (online) and does lots of rankings. They recently named Canada the second best country overall, just behind Germany. Canada received solid points for entrepreneurship, quality of life, and for being “open for business.”
- How are the country’s PhDs doing? It’s tough to say. The Canadian Association of University Teachers says one in three university professors are on temporary or part-term contracts, but then a Globe article reports that one in three PhD graduates are in tenure-track positions somewhere in the world.
- Revenge of the Nerds. Obscure 80’s comedy? Or chilling premonition of things to come? The Ontario Provincial Police have announced that they will hold a job fair specifically to target tech grads, helping the force to prepare for disruptive technologies. That actually seems like a pretty smart idea.
- Speaking of disruptive change, the World Economic Forum released an insightful report on The Future of Jobs, which is definitely worth a read.
