Statistics Canada to release labour force survey for August today
Statistics Canada is expected to release its labour force survey for August, providing the latest data on the job market.
A Reuters poll forecasts that 15,000 jobs were added in August, with the unemployment rate steady at 6.4 percent, according to LSEG Data & Analytics.
In July, the Canadian economy gained 75,000 jobs.
The jobs report arrives amid a trade war between Canada and the United States involving tariffs and counter-tariffs, creating uncertainty that may delay business investment and hiring decisions.
