The latest Canada Jobs Labour Force Survey shows a rise in employment by 418500 in the month of July while the unemployment rate dropped to 10. 9%. The province-wise data is even more encouraging as nine Canadian provinces recorded new jobs in the month of July. Ontario emerged as the biggest facilitator with 151000 new jobs followed by higher gains in British Columbia and Alberta. Almost all the provinces now record a healthy 91.7% of pre-pandemic employment levels.
