The correlation coefficient is -0.912; so, there is a strong, negative correlation between the year and the number of employees in Canada's agricultural sector. The coefficient of determination is 0.832, which means that about 83.2% of the change in the number of agriculture employees is due to the change in year. Although it is very unlikely that Canada will lose all of its farmers in less than 64 years, the result is still concerning. Canada will still need farms in the future to sustain the country's way-of-life; so, some workers in future generations will have to pursue farming. There was a very large drop in employees from 1999 to 2001. This was probably due to Canada’s shifting identity in to the new millennium. More international
Upper Canada was in the tumultuous process of settlement during the nineteenth century. From 1800-1860, wheat and flour exports went from a negligible amount to peak at 13 billion bushels in 1860.1 It is important to understand the rapid nature of settlement to contextualize life in rural Upper Canada. From 1805-1840, the population increased by over eight hundred percent.2 Many of these were Irish emigrants, even in the period preceding the famine; these pre-Famine Irish emigrants were predominantly “middling farmers,” «c'est à dire des fermiers cultivant des terres petites ou moyennes, ceux qui ont été le plus durement touchés par la baisse soudaine des prix des produits agricoles à la fin des guerres napoléoniennes [en Europe]».3 Many of the emigrants settled into townships and villages on the agricultural frontier, such as the Biddul...

The Great Depression was a devastating event that brought misfortune to many people as a result of the stock market crash on Black Tuesday. This paper will seek to explore the impact and effects on the agriculture industry throughout the province of Prince Edward Island, herein referred to as P.E.I. Furthermore; it will analyze critical events and ask questions as to how people during this era reacted to the change in economic uncertainty.
The Wheat Boom in Canada in the late 1890s and early 1900s contributed to the rise of an agrarian economy, where the family formed the basic production unit. Women played an important role in the family by tending to domestic chores and child rearing. At about the same time, the rise of industrial capitalism drew men into the industrial wage-labour market. The women’s contribution to the domestic front enabled men to participate in wage earning opportunities, due to which the MLFPR was notably above 90 percent. The rise of large-scale factory production raised the insatiable demand for cheap labour. Employers began to recruit women as cheap unskilled or semi-skilled labourers in some light industries, such as textiles,
Chapter 1: Regions of Canada describe regionalism and how it divides countries, specifically Canada, naturally into six regions: British Columbia, Western Canada, Territorial North, Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada. These regions have been divided in a manner that correlates ‘like spaces’ in regards to human and physical geography (Bone, p.6) along with Canada’s historical development. The second key feature of chapter 1 describes Canada’s faultlines and they’re affects on Canada’s regional divide. There are four faultlines within Canada that reciprocate tensions that are mostly solved by being “soft” through negotiation and discussion (according to John Ralston Saul, Bone, p. 10). Bone places a great focus on these faultlines, which include: centralist/decentralist, Aboriginal/Non-Aboriginal, French/English Canadians, and newcomer/old-timer. “Canada’s heterogeneous nature often forms the basis of regional quarrels” (Bone, p. 11) particularly for the centralist/decentralist faultline. English/French speaking Canadians focus on Quebec and sovereignty, while the Aboriginal/Non-Aboriginal faultline deals with land claims, settlement and colonized peoples. Newcomers/old-timers refer to immigrants and settlers of Canada. The core/periphery model is a key concept that is commonly referred to throughout the text. It depicts the core as concentrations of power/wealth/population, with the periphery/hinterland as the weakly developed, resource based area.

From 1865 to 1900, production of crops increased, and prices dropped. (Document A) These crops were shipped east, where they were eaten and exported to other countries. This was due to technology, but government policy caused economic conditions in the west barely improved as a result. In fact, despite the success many farmers experienced, many in the west still struggled to put food on the table.
Many farmers always wonder about newer, more efficient ways to farm. Farming becomes more and more precise every day; farmers struggle to keep up with moisture loss caused by dry-spells, soil and nutrient run-off caused by erosion, and trying to raise better yields. Although it may seem as if there is no answer, many farmers are turning to no-till as the solution. Some farmers stand against no-till, saying it keeps the ground too cold for too long in the spring, or that it will not allow them to get their crops up, but much research proves these beliefs wrong. No-till is an advantage over conventional-till for three main reasons: conserves moisture in the soil, reduces erosion by wind and rain, and increases the quality of the topsoil.
Farmers everywhere in the United States during the late nineteenth century had valid reasons to complaint against the economy because the farmers were constantly being taken advantage of by the railroad companies and banks. All farmers faced similar problems and for one thing, farmers were starting to become a minority within the American society. In the late nineteenth century, industrialization was in the spotlight creating big businesses and capitals. The success of industrialization put agriculture and farmers on the down low, allowing the corporations to overtake the farmers. Since the government itself; such as the Republican Party was also pro-business during this time, they could have cared less about the farmers.
Correlation is a statistical technique that is used to measure and describe the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. Correlation helps us predict, validate and make sure 2 variable data studies are reliable. With the correlation coefficient you can determine whether a correlation is positive or negative and whether a correlation is strong or weak. All correlation coefficients are on a scale from -1 through 1 the closer to 0 a correlation coefficient is the weaker it is the closer to -1 or 1 the stronger it is. All correlation coefficients from 0 to 1 are positive, hence it will
As you are well aware of, the past year has not been a good economic year for General Mills. The overall economy has forced many key employees to seek employment elsewhere. General Mills’ current employee benefit costs have risen by 20%. Overall revenue is down 15%. Your department has declined to a 15 year low.
As illustrates, there have been many more failures compared to success of the Employment Insurance program. It is very important to take these failures seriously and try to improve them, because this department is very helpful to many Canadian citizens. But it is useless if many Canadians do not know the many benefits of it to try and help them. Plus many restrictions are put into place to filter many citizens from receiving this benefit.
In 2008, during the crisis the passengers travelling in Qantas were decreased, the passengers travelling in first class were sharply reduced. So they started lay off the employees.
The agriculture of Pakistan constitutes the largest sector of the economy. It accounts for 24% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and it employs around 48.5% of the labor force (Pakistan Bureau of Statistics 2017). About 61.24% population lives in rural areas (World Bank 2016) where directly or indirectly their livelihood depends upon agriculture sector. The agriculture sector is responsible for ensuring food availability to the fast growing population but struggles to attain food security. Unfortunately, the agriculture sector faces many threats and challenges
People have depended on agriculture for years as the primary source of getting food. We have developed all kinds of ways to manipulate nature so what we can produce higher yield crops, more nutritious crops, bigger crops, crops that withstand cold, and farming equipment that allows us to manufacture these crops with relative ease. Why then are there five billion people being malnourished and forty thousand children dying each day from hunger? It seems as though world hunger is more a result of the lack of distributing the food properly than the lack of quantity. agriculture has turned into a high profit business and biotech companies like Monsanto are constantly trying to come up with better and more efficient ways of farming. Are they doing this to try to solve the world hunger crisis, or merely to make a profit?
