Canada adds 80,000 jobs in November

The Canadian economy added eight times more jobs than expected last month, Statistics Canada reported Friday.

The data agency's monthly Labour Force Survey said Canada added 80,000 jobs in November, and the jobless rate ticked down four percentage points to 5.9 per cent — the lowest level since February 2008.

It's also the biggest addition of jobs in a single month since April 2012, when the economy was rebounding out of recession.

The Canadian dollar jumped three-quarters of a cent on the news, and was changing hands at 78.32 cents US within minutes of the release of the jobs numbers.

More than half the new jobs were in Ontario, but British Columbia, Quebec and Prince Edward Island also saw decent gains. New Brunswick lost about 2,700 jobs during the month. Everywhere else, the jobs figures basically stood still.

According to the article the October unemployment rate was 9.9% so that means, according to the rest of the stats provided in the article, the total workforce in Canada is 1,600,000. The article is not credible..

It's the Holiday Season part-time, temporary job rush that happens ever year around this time. Can't wait to see how many of those jobs will still be around come January.

Why ya'll so bitter though?

Yeah, if only this was compared to previous holiday rushes, like over the past ten years or something. Then we'd know for sure if this was just an every year thing.

Trudeau jobs bad....Trump jobs good.

Wonder what's happening over at Carrier in Indiana?

Laid-off Carrier worker Quinton Franklin: "I honestly thought that my job had been saved... That turned out to be a lie. So I definitely feel betrayed and defeated..."

Poor fella....

Ouch. Thats a kick in the nards to Trumpites. Not only do they support a man with socialist tendencies but he cant even save a few jobs with 7 million dollars.

I think we have a consensus. The rock bangers hate Trudeau, Wynne, and Ontario so much they'd rather have Canadians unemployed than any good news for Trudeau, Wynne, and Ontario.

It says the unemployment rate dropped 4 tenths of one percent to 5.9. YOu have not done your due diligence.

Shoddy work, Walter.

Since Canada is progressing toward a knowledge based economy, we'll be ready for the robot takeover.
