Tech is probably of the only industry doing extremely poorly at the moment I think. The other is probably retail.

The effective breaking of the TFW train might make a difference. We haven't gone shopping in a long time and went for the first time this week cause we managed to shed the kids. Walked into RW&Co and it was Indian TFWs the whole way. Metrotown lost a few pretty prominent stores.

With Trump coming in and "being tough" on immigration, we'll see what happens in the states as well. Tech is driven a lot by visa workers in the states, and if those don't get renewed we might see a surge in replacement hiring.
