According to the latest Statistics Canada Labour Force Survey, the Canadian job market is on an exciting upward trajectory, with specific sectors lighting the way. The nation witnessed a 60,000 employment boost, a commendable 0.3% hike in the employment rate. This surge is attributed mainly to a significant uptick in full-time positions, swelled by 110,000, marking a 0.7% increment.
The industries at the forefront of this employment growth become evident. The wholesale and retail trade sectors saw a considerable bump, with an additional 33,000 jobs. Following this was the manufacturing sector, with 27,000 new positions emerging. It’s been on a steady incline, building on a 13,000 job gain witnessed in May, making it the industry’s most prominent monthly growth. Manufacturing has impressively upped its employment by 2.7%, translating to 49,000 new roles.
Among these promising numbers, the health care and social assistance sector deserves a nod. After a relatively flat three-month period, June brought a fresh wind, adding 21,000 new roles, a 0.8% rise. Despite most sectors seeing a dip in job vacancies, this sector remains undeterred, hovering around record highs. This resilience has culminated in a year-over-year job increase of 65,000, an uplifting 2.5% surge, with total work hours growing by 2.3%.
