Canada's economy added 22,000 jobs last month. That's more than what economists were expecting but not enough to move the unemployment rate, which stands at five per cent.

Canada's economy has added more than 300,000 jobs since last summer.Employment in Canada rose slightly last month after January's jobs report raised eyebrows among economists anticipating a slowdown in the labour market this year.

The bulk of the job gains were made in health care and social assistance, public administration and utilities. Meanwhile, jobs were lost in business, building and other support services.Canada's job growth is challenging basic economic theory. Are the models wrong? Signs of that slowdown are already apparent. In the fourth quarter, the Canadian economy was treading water, posting zero per cent growth.

Business The BOC is hopelessly out to lunch is they think productivity is going to go up with severe wage stagnation. Its probably going to go down if the powers that be dont smarten up and stop testing peoples patience.

Business Hey CBC, what's 500 000 divided by 12 equal? You need to be creating at least 41 500 jobs per month to keep pace. LOSERS. I'll bet you won't make that mistake again when reporting the numbers.

Business Defund the CBC, ‘Just Transition’ their staff, sell off their assets!

“The bulk of the job gains were made in health care and social assistance, public administration and utilities. Meanwhile, jobs were lost in business, building and other support services.” - in other-words not so much

Business CPC_HQ it's all Trudeau's fault

Well duh.. how many of these 22,000 jobs are second or third jobs to afford food and shelter now?

Business 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰❤️❤️🥰🥰❤️😍😍

For some reason the lib nazi mouth piece cbc is lying again

LMAO, likely Liberal Government jobs. What a joke. CBC is the lying Liberal channel

Unemployment has been stable for years but food bank use broke records last year. Capitalism is working precisely as intended

Thanks Trudeau 😡. How are people supposed to twist this around?

Did Trudeau pay CBC to post this too lol.

More would be added if there were people to hire. Labour shortage is what is holding back employment numbers.

Liberals love censorship

O yes uber drivers and uber eats....woohoo
