Trump vs Carney. The US added 50,000 jobs in December, and the unemployment rate dropped to 4.4%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics‘ monthly report on the employment situation.
Unfortunately more public service gains and more private sector losses. It isn’t looking good…

how many of those 8200 jobs were govt jobs I wonder…..

The unemployment rate increases because we lost MORE jobs than we added that the government doesn’t report of course.

Probably 8,200 Uber Eats added on the streets of Toronto because people are too lazy to pick their own food up.

Public service gains. Snake eating its own tail

I’m part of the 6.8 and -4.2 at the moment.
Took an exit package at work in the fall and have been looking around. I knew there wouldn’t be much hiring through the end of the year and it does seem a fair number of positions are posting in January so far.
In the meantime I’m helping out at a local school just for something to do.

It’s comical that as the employment rate rises and we consistently add more public sector jobs than private sector it’s continually framed as positive news. The benchmark now seems to be, “We were expecting worse.”

Why is Canada allowing ANY LMIA applicants for low-skill jobs when unemployment is rising?
Seems like a quick fix or at least will help the situation? I ask this in earnest – why don’t they do this?

Well the Government just invited another 8,000 to apply for Permanent Residence, that should help

It’s a mixed report. Unemployment % moved up which is obviously not great, but the number of jobs created beat estimates by a large amount (we were expected to lose 5,000 jobs). The job gains were also concentrated in full-time work which is much better for the long term health of the economy. Unfortunately, the youth lost a lot of jobs (27,000) which erases gains from the previous 2 reports.

Still cant get a job minimum wage job though.. Stand in line at the food banks, apply for social assistance and troll kijiji, linkden and indeed just to get scammed out of a cashier position by somebody named Singh or Deep. Government hasn’t a thing.

This isn’t good, but for anyone comparing this to the US, the fed doesn’t trust their numbers either. As per the Powell and the rest of the board, they conisder the number less 60k. So the US lost 10k jobs. And that’s without the usual revision downwards and any juicing Trump’s new staff does to ‚recalibrate‘ the stats.

>Young workers aged 15 to 24 accounted for 27,000 job losses last month, giving back gains seen in November and October.
I remember many angry comments when it was pointed out the gains in youth employment in the Fall were likely only temporary jobs for the Christmas season. Bet those Redditors are very quiet today.
