    I am 27 now, and I grew up in Truro. I now live in London, Ontario. London has one of the (and at times THE) largest unemployment rates of Canadian cities. There is still more opportunity here for me in the line of work I aim to be in than there is back home. There are also more extracurricular activities and programs for my children.

    Lastly, in regards to unemployment rates, they can be misleading. Unemployment rates only capture those attached to the labour market. (EI or welfare, for example, contribute to unemployment.) New graduates not yet working would not be measured.
