Canada’s June employment report showed stronger-than-expected job growth, with total employment rising by 83.1K, well above the 0.0K expected and the prior month’s 8.8K gain. The increase was driven primarily by part-time employment, which surged by 69.5K, while full-time jobs increased by a modest 13.5K. The employment boost, sent the unemployment rate down to 6.9%, from 7.0% and the estimate of 7.1% . The participation rate edged higher to 65.4% from 65.3%. Meanwhile, average hourly wages for permanent workers slowed slightly to 3.2% y/y, down from 3.5% previously. Overall, the report reflects a resilient labor market with robust hiring, particularly in part-time roles, though wage growth continues to ease.
