Statistics
Canada reported on Friday that the number of employed people reduced by 71,200 m-o-m
in November, while economists had forecast a gain of 10,000 and after an
unrevised drop of 1.800 in the previous month.
Meanwhile, Canada's
unemployment remained rose to 5.9 percent in November from 5.5 percent in
October, above economists’ forecast for 5.5 percent. That was the highest
jobless rate since September 2018.
According to
the report, full-time employment decreased by 38,400 (or -0.2 percent m-o-m) in
November, while part-time jobs declined by 32,800 (or -0.9 percent m-o-m).
In November,

while the number of private sector employees declined by 50,200 (-0.4 percent
m-o-m). At the same time, the number of self-employed dropped by 18,700 (-0.6
percent m-o-m) last month.
Sector-wise,
employment declined in both in the goods-producing sector, specifically in
manufacturing (-28,000) and natural resources (-6,500), as well as in the
services-producing sector, notably in public administration (-25,000).
On a
year-over-year basis, employment grew by 293,000 (+1.6 percent) in November, with
the increase largely accounted for by full-time work.
