Canada’s Job Market Surges | Calgary News

Canada’s job market is firing on all cylinders, adding 75,000 jobs last month—way above forecasts—and dropping unemployment to a two-year low of 6.4%. This marks the third straight month of strong gains, reversing earlier sluggishness. Alberta leads the surge, but surprisingly, it’s health care and public services—not oil and gas—that are driving full-time growth. Ontario also added over 65,000 jobs, though Alberta’s year-over-year gains are far more impressive. Meanwhile, Quebec and B.C. see shrinking labor markets. Economists applaud the solid summer report, but caution that lingering U.S. trade tensions could still threaten these positive trends.
