Statistics Canada says the jobs growth was largely concentrated in the health-care sector, and notes gains in the number of public-sector and self-employed workers.The report says 70,000 of the new jobs were full-time, as the number of part-time workers declined.
The agency's latest labour force survey says the country saw a rush last month of 49,400 new positions in services industries, but an drop of 21,000 jobs in the private sector. Young workers aged 15 to 24 years old saw drops in the ranks of full- and part-time workers, inching their unemployment rate to 11.9 per cent -- not all that dissimilar from the same time one year ago.
Compared with a year earlier, the numbers show Canada added 456,000 jobs, for an increase of 2.4 per cent.

Uh huh. But from a practical point of view, things get worse and worse. Massaged numbers are nice though ....
Let the spin game begin.
but the report said that 70,000 of those were full time jobs - did you have a climate scientist do the math?
Statistics Canada says jobs growth largely concentrated in the health-care sector, and notes gains in the number of public-sector. BUT A DROP OF 21,000 JOBS IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR. Any government can make job numbers look good. Just hire more government jobs!! Christ.
