Labour Market Observer & Review
Our current Labour Market Observer (LMO) writer is Beatrix Abdul Azeez, a third-year undergraduate student pursuing a B.A. with the Economics Co-Operative Education Option (ECEO) at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Beatrix has a keen interest in international relations and international development and is particularly intrigued by the workings of the global economy. Beatrix began working on the LMO in Spring 2019. The LMO helps to serve CARE’s mandate, which is to promote a greater understanding of our economy and any wider social impacts.
