Small business owners facing brutal hours amid labour crunch: “I don’t take days off”

Many small business owners are working brutal hours amid an ongoing labour crunch in Canada, according to a report released April 24 by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.

The report found that many small business owners are working what amounts to an eighth day of the workweek.

"I don’t take days off. I just take little pieces of time during each day to try to fit in my personal life, basically,” says Jennifer Newark, owner of a Pet Grocer store in Alliston, Ont. She says she hasn’t had much luck bringing on new hires because of the tight labour market.

As Anne Gaviola reports, experts are worried the labour crunch will stop Canadian companies from flourishing.
