On Friday, StatsCan released the results of April’s Labour Force Survey, and after two months where we have seen very little change, employment rose by 58,000. While most of the employment was seen in part time, this has helped result in the unemployment rate dropping to 7.6%.
Since April 2010, full-time employment has rose by 1.9%, and part time has grown 0.8% – resulting in a total change of 283,000 employment growth.
