Tuesday, October 12, 2021
Vancouver, BC, October 12, 2021--Canada's labour market got a massive boost in September, taking employment back to levels seen before the COVID-19 pandemic upended the economy. The country added 157,100 positions last month, building on a gain of 90,200 in August, Statistics Canada said Friday. Hiring was considerably stronger than the 60,000 positions that economists were expecting. The unemployment rate fell to 6.9 per cent from 7.1 per cent. In September, around 19.13 million Canadians were employed - the same as in February, 2020, marking a milestone in the recovery from the pandemic.
