Will October Mark the End of Canada’s Employment Recovery?

Last Friday Statistics Canada released its latest employment report and estimated that our economy added another 84,000 jobs in October. This result came in a little higher than the consensus forecast of 75,000 but well below the robust increases we saw in September (+378,000) and August (+246,000). The more jobs we recover, the slower the pace of additional gains will be and the more evident the permanent damage caused by COVID will become.
