  • Canadian employment growth slowed in November amid a second Covid-19 wave, with 62,000 net new jobs created, but the unemployment rate continued to fall from its peak, the government statistical agency said Friday. Employment was up 0.3 percent in the month, following increases of 0.5 percent in October and an average of 2.7 percent per month from May to September, said Statistics Canada. The unemployment rate, meanwhile, fell 0.4 percentage points to 8.5 percent, continuing a steady decline from the record high 13.7 percent in May, and beating analyst forecasts. A lockdown in the spring to slow the spread of the Covid-19 illness had put three million Canadians out of work. By November the total number of unemployed Canadians fell to 1.7 million. Many people struggling to find work, however, dropped out of the labor market. According to Statistics Canada, November employment fell in industries most directly affected by public health restrictions such as in accommodation and food services. On the other hand, it approached or exceeded pre-pandemic levels where working from home or physical distancing was more feasible, including professional, scientific and technical services, the agency said. Most of the new jobs were full-time. Employment increased for women and those under 24, and declined slightly for men. Some 4.6 million Canadians worked from home. New hospital and school hires mostly drove a small uptick in public sector employment. Employment growth, meanwhile, resumed in construction, transportation and warehousing. It rose for the third consecutive month in finance, insurance, real estate, rental and leasing sectors to surpass pre-pandemic levels. The resources sector also bounced back, as did retail trade -- but the latter was predicted to drop in December as some regions imposed new Covid-19 measures on restaurants, recreational facilities and retail businesses. Self-employment as a group remained furthest from pre-pandemic levels, down 4.7 percent. amc/st
