Concepts of Thinking: Geographic Perspective, Interrelationships, Patterns and Trends, Spatial Significance

Inquiry: Why might there be job vacancies in an economy that has unemployment? 

Activity: Gather data on the Canadian economy to determine where (spatial significance) there are vacancies as well as data on where refugees/immigrants are settling in Canada, create maps to help analyse the data to find a conclusion (patterns and trends, interrelationships). Develop a proposal, if needed, to match settlement patterns with job vacancy patterns (geographic perspective).
