Young people and workers need visible pathways into the next economy before automation removes traditional entry points.
16.8%Toronto youth unemployment reported for April 2026 in the campaign research baseline.
>16,000Annual City youth employment opportunities already in the system; build on what exists.

$0Automatic job-replacement savings assumed from AI.
Economic Watering Well.
Give neighbourhood firms practical access to AI adoption, advice, institutional connections, procurement and talent.
Build Toronto IP.
Software, robotics, construction technology, film, games and creative tools should generate companies and intellectual property that can grow here.
The AI transition
Do not wait until people are displaced to build the transition system.
Track entry-level work, hours, wages, layoffs, job postings and AI adoption. The latest Canadian evidence does not show an economy-wide employment collapse, but it does show rapid adoption and reasons to watch younger and entry-level workers carefully. Toronto should build the transition system before displacement becomes a crisis.
Economic security through transition
Prepare before the job loss, not after it.
AI can create new work while still disrupting specific occupations, junior roles and employers. The transition plan connects early-warning data, worker navigation, paid pathways, responsible City automation and senior-government supports.
Watch real outcomes.
Track hiring, hours, wages, layoffs, job postings and entry-level opportunities instead of treating an AI-exposure score as a forecast.
Connect people before the fall.
Use Employment Ontario, Work-Sharing, employers, labour, colleges and universities to connect income support, paid training and real demand.
Keep the ladder intact.
Project Six, apprenticeships, co-ops, procurement pathways and employer partnerships help preserve the first rung into good work.
Main Street capability
The AI economy has to reach neighbourhood businesses too.
Less friction, better adoption support, procurement pathways and access to talent can help small firms compete without turning every business owner into a technology specialist.
