Episode description

After soaring during the pandemic, tech companies big and small have spent the past year cutting costs and laying off thousands of workers. At the same time, unemployment is at a record low, job vacancies are high, and many non-tech businesses are complaining about a labour shortage. So what can we really learn about the broader economy from the tech winter we're experiencing now, and what impact will it have on Canada? April Fong, executive editor of The Logic, joins us to answer these questions and dig into what's next for Canada's tech sector. ----- Links: Follow April on Twitter: @aprilfong More episodes of Free Lunch by The Peak: https://readthepeak.com/shows/free-lunch Follow Taylor on Twitter: @taylorscollon Follow Sarah on Twitter: @sarahbartnicka Subscribe to The Peak's daily business newsletter: https://readthepeak.com/b/the-peak/subscribe
