Amid job losses nationwide, Toronto pub owner says he's received 250 resumes but can't afford to hire | CBC News

Cesar Mesen, owner of The Pint Public House, indicated that despite receiving a high volume of resumes, he cannot afford to hire more staff due to economic conditions. He stated, "If we post for one position, we maybe get 90, 100 candidates." Mesen's pub typically hires around 40 to 50 people for the summer, but this season's hiring was a fraction of that. He mentioned, "I cannot just hire people because I feel bad for them right now, we don't have a need to hire." Job losses predominantly affected young individuals, particularly those aged 15 to 24.
