‘This is no country for young men’ say job-hunters with eyes on Canada

It’s no country for young men, especially in rural areas where the recession has decimated the jobs market.

That was the opinion of three friends from Tipperary town who were among 2,000 people who travelled to a Canadian Jobs Expo in Cork yesterday in the hope of getting a job abroad.

Michael Ryan, 26, Sean Coleman, 27, and William Kelly, 21, are all unemployed construction workers.
