Canada Modification d'emploi

Employment in Canada rose by 1,100 in February 2025, slowing from the 57,000 rise in January and missing market expectations of a 20,000 increase. The change was driven by a 51,000 increase in wholesale and retail trade and a 16,000 rise in finance, insurance, real estate, rental and leasing, while employment declined by 33,000 in professional, scientific and technical services and by 23,000 in transportation and warehousing. Provincially, employment fell notably in Nova Scotia (-4,300), while other provinces recorded little change.
