Highlights of the September Canadian jobs report:
- Prior was +12.0K
- Prior unemployment rate 7.0%
- Prior full time jobs +54.4K
- Largest drop in full-time employment since Oct 2011
The headline is a touch better but don't let it fool you, this is a soft report with a big decline in full-time jobs that erases the gain last month. Unemployment rose despite a steady reading on labour-force participation.
