Statistics Canada to release November job figures ahead of Bank of Canada decision
Economists predict unemployment near 7% with mixed job growth forecasts; recent gains over 120,000 jobs may influence the Bank of Canada's rate decision.
- On Dec. 5, 2025, Statistics Canada released fresh employment figures for November this morning in Ottawa, a Canadian Press report credited to Craig Lord.
- Recent labour-market gains saw more than 120,000 positions added over October and September, and RBC economists say cracks in trade-exposed sectors haven't spread while hiring demand stabilizes.
- Forecasters diverge with a Reuters poll expecting unemployment to tick up to seven per cent and a loss of 5,000 jobs, while Royal Bank calls for flat job growth.
- These November figures arrive before the Bank of Canada's final interest rate decision next week and could influence assessments of labour-market durability given recent hiring signals.
- Analysts warn that disagreement among forecasters and cracks in trade-exposed sectors leave uncertainty about wider labour market weakness, which matters as recent surprise hiring shapes future policy and market views.
