Among Albertans over the age of 25, the employment decline was around three per cent. But the job losses among young people — especially young women — have been truly staggering. Among young female workers, in particular, the decline was even larger: 23.4 per cent or roughly 34,000 of them. Tombe noted that losses in service-sector jobs effectively accounted for Alberta's entire employment decline in March. "Almost surely we're going to see that employment losses were larger than what are reflected in this report."
