“Canadian employment rebounded slightly following two soft months, but the job gain couldn’t keep up with the pace of labour force growth and the jobless rate rose more than anticipated.”
“Overall, this was a slightly softer than expected report consistent with continued steady interest rate cuts from the Bank of Canada.”
