Economy adds 953,000 jobs in June, unemployment rate falls

the economy added nearly one million jobs in June as businesses forced closed by the pandemic began to reopen.

The average economist estimate for June had been for an addition of 700,000 jobs and the unemployment rate to fall to 12.0 per cent, according to financial data firm Refinitiv. About 2.5 million didn't have jobs in June, either due to temporary or permanent layoffs, while the remainder are working less than half their usual hours.

The unemployment rate for women was 12.7 per cent in June compared to 12.1 per cent for men. Similarly, the participation rate for core-aged men was less than one percentage point below the February level, while for women it was 1.4 percentage points short.

Half of them are part-time and contract. I wouldn't celebrate the rise of the precariat class as a boon.

BS !!

This’ll plateau, not all Canadian jobs are coming back and unemployment will remain at a historic low. The unlawful lockdowns destroyed an economy the Liberal government had already been harming

They are not full time, permanent positions. No adult with a family wants to take on a part time, minimum wage job. I am seeing jobs here in Alberta asking for 10 years experience in specific certification and offering $2 above min wage.

Low income jobs mom and pop are gone stay home stay safe folks ;)

No it didn't. Just moving numbers around on paper doesn't create something from nothing. Nothing was added. Don't believe this fake news.
