Part time jobs are enough to survive on, it all depends on your description of 'living'.
If you except to buy and maintain a house, put clothes on your back, food on the table and have cable TV on that salery than no you probally can't live on part time payment but if you dumped your luxuries. Rented a small apartment, has basic cable or regular TV with food on the table and clothes on your back. Then you can live on that payment.

A friend just told me he just switched jobs last week and his salary went from $55k to $75k. Also, he has another job offer for $100k but he would have to move about 2 hours from his home town. Skilled workers are in demand. This friend graduated with a MSc. degree recently.
Stay in school and all will be cool as long as you learn about something others need.

I don't even have basic cable, and no way could I live on part-time wages.
What "luxuries" do you think I should give up to be able to afford my bills on less than half of what I'm making now?
Yeah and what kind of living conditions are you in right now? Like do you own your own house? Do you rent? How high is your rent? What other luxuries besides cable do you have? Do you buy a lot of things?
People can live in low money... they just can't afford much. People who usually get paid shit always want things more then they got and they tend to pay for things with money they don't have.
Meaning, if you are smart with your money. You can survive on low pay.

Unemployment is going to rise.
Deficits are going to go up.
The economy is going into a recession.

Something lots of people forget,Alberta's main energy export is gas,not oil.Thats natural gas,used to heat your homes and cook your meals and heat your water.
Yeah... natural gas.
From the US DOE:
$1:
Canada has continued to produce natural gas faster than it replenishes its reserves. Canada’s production/reserves ratio (the number of years of proven reserves remaining at existing production levels) has declined from 35 years in 1985 to 9 years in 2006.
http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/Canada/NaturalGas.htmlDid you get that? 9 years of natural gas left to "... heat your homes and cook your meals and heat your water."

You're a student, I'm a single mom. Maybe you can live on part-time wages, but I can't.
Being a mom changes things, however my point stands. If you were unemployed and there were no more jobs open in the field you were previously working at. A part time job is far better than nothing. It atleast brings in some income while you wait unti'll a job opens up or something else comes along.

The sky is falling, the economy is tumbling and Dion is stuttering.. but looks like there's a 107,000 folks with new jobs.
The banks are solid and looking to expand into the US market like never before.
Prices are fluctuating but folks still need beef, coal, oil and potash and Canada's future is excellent.

I wouldnt exactly call 107,000 jobs at Tim Hortons in Alberta a boon.. what a whole bowl of crap...

Well dude,seeing how your such an expert maybe you can tell me how long the CBM will last untill it run's out. what? a billion years?
Do some googling and get back to me when you have something.

The point that should be standing -
~95% of the jobs created last month were part-time jobs... and we're supposed to be thrilled with this supposed proof that the economy is booming?
Last time I checked, creating jobs helped the economy. Part time jobs included. Also this was just a month, next month = more jobs. Maybe even full time jobs? Either way, it shows the jobs are increasing and not decreasing which is a good thing.

Theres an online issue of the calgary sun available Kenny if you want to see for yourself,or hit the HRDC site.Lot's of good paying job's in Alberta.

Oh,Burns,CBM is methane(natural gas) that's produced by the oxidization of coal and other organic materials beneath Canada.And if you did some research instead of just trying to slag Alberta you would see that our whole country has coal underneath it,major coal seams.You and your kin will be long dead before we run out of gas.

Well, some people would love a little extra income, but refuse to put their kids in afterschool care. Part time jobs ain't that bad if you are a family. 1.5 income is better than 1, and often better, timewise, than 2.

Here's a lil primer for Burns on natural gas,because he need's some edmucating.
$1:
Coalbed Methane is a natural gas produced from coal seams or adjacent sandstones. In 1994, U.S. coalbed methane reserves were 9.38 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), which was ~6% of the domestic natural gas reserves. Production in 1994 was 777 billion cubic feet(Bcf), or 4% of the natural gas production of the lower 48 states. Commercial production occurs in approximately 10 U.S. basins; the major producing areas are the San Juan, Black Warrior, and Central Appalachian Basins. The coalbed methane play is now international with tests or pilot projects in ~15 countries.
Coal is both the source rock and the reservoir for coalbed methane. As organic material (peat) is buried, temperature and pressure increase, and methane, water, and other volatile substances are liberated. As these fluids are released, the coally matter contracts and fractures in a distinctive manner. The fractures align themselves according to the existing stress fields in the earth. These fractures are called cleat and they provide permeability pathways through which the fluids may pass. Some gas may escape the coal. However, if formation pressure is sufficient, quantities of methane are retained in the pressurized coal matrix in an adsorbed state. To produce the methane, wells are drilled into the coal and pressure is reduced by removing formation water. Pumps are generally required to dewater the formation. This allows methane to desorb and pass into its gaseous state, so that it may be produced in the conventional manner into a pipeline. It is usually necessary to compress the gas before it may be put into the collection system.
Coalbed methane activity is increasing in the U.S., the world leader in reserves and production, due to recent high gas prices and dwindling conventional gas supplies. In 1999, U.S. coalbed methane production was 1.25 Tcf (trillion cubic feet) (5% > than in 1998), and coalbed methane reserves were approximately 13.2 Tcf, or about 8% of the U.S. total dry gas reserves. Coalbed gas production from low-rank coal in the Powder River Basin is the most active natural gas play in the U.S., in terms of numbers of wells drilled, and it has resulted in new exploration models that have stimulated evaluation of coalbed gas in other low-rank coals. Elsewhere, coalbed methane is produced in Queensland, Australia, and the U.K., and pilot projects are underway in China and India. Independent operators are the most active coalbed gas exploration companies in the U.S. Internationally, both majors and independents are actively seeking to expand the industry. Capital is being spent for leasing, exploration, and development. In the San Juan Basin, for example, a major in-fill drilling (down-spacing) program is in progress north of the Fruitland fairway. Today, coalbed gas research is limited in comparison to a decade ago when the Gas Research Institute (now Gas Technology Institute) championed the technology development that supported today’s successes. However, enhanced coalbed gas recovery research is being conducted in pilot projects by BP Amoco and Burlington Resources, and the U.S. Department of Energy is supporting studies of the feasibility of carbon dioxide sequestration in coals, which could be coupled with enhanced recovery.
