Canada’s Job Market Surges Back | Calgary News

Canada’s job market is roaring back, adding 75,000 jobs in July and slashing unemployment to a two-year low of 6.4%. Retail and wholesale trade led the charge with 21,000 new roles, while women aged 25–54 saw a major employment boost—dropping their unemployment rate to just 5.2%. Ontario surged ahead with 52,000 new positions, followed by BC’s 18,000, with Manitoba and Nova Scotia also posting strong gains.
