According to Statistics Canada, employment dropped (for the first time since April 2020) by 63,000. Part-time employment saw an even harsher decline (-2.9% compared to -0.3% of the overall employment rate). And even though the unemployment rate of 8.6% is significantly better than April’s 13%, it’s still dangerously high compared to the 2019 average rate of 5.6%.
