Unemployment rate

Employment down in Quebec, Alberta, British Columbia

In Quebec, 45,000 fewer people were employed in November, with the decline largely attributable to manufacturing as well as accommodation and food services. As more people searched for work, the unemployment rate in the province increased by 0.6 percentage points to 5.6%. Despite the monthly decline, total employment in Quebec was up by 45,000 (+1.0%) on a year-over-year basis.

Employment in Alberta fell by 18,000 in November, with declines occurring in a number of industries, led by wholesale and retail trade. On a year-over-year basis, total employment in the province was little changed. With more people seeking employment, the unemployment rate in Alberta rose by 0.5 percentage points to 7.2% in November, a rate observed as recently as August.

Employment in British Columbia also fell by 18,000 in November, with declines spread across several industries. Compared with 12 months earlier, employment in the province was little changed. The unemployment rate rose to 5.0% in November from 4.7% in October.

While employment in Ontario held steady in November, the unemployment rate increased by 0.3 percentage points to 5.6% as a result of more people looking for work.

Employment in Saskatchewan was little changed, while the unemployment rate rose to 5.8% (+0.7 percentage points) as more people looked for work. There was also little employment change in Manitoba, and the unemployment rate edged up 0.3 percentage points to 5.6% in November.

Fewer workers among men aged 25 to 54 and women 55 and over

Employment among core-aged men declined for the second consecutive month, down 30,000 in November. At the same time, their unemployment rate rose by 0.6 percentage points to 5.3% as more of them looked for work. On a year-over-year basis, employment growth among core-aged men totalled 51,000 (+0.8%).

While the number of workers among core-aged women was little changed in November, their unemployment rate rose by 0.3 percentage points to 4.7% as more of them looked for work.

Following an increase in October, employment fell by 21,000 for women aged 55 and over in November, and their unemployment rate rose 0.3 percentage points to 4.7%. On a year-over-year basis, employment for women in this age group held steady.

While men aged 55 and over saw little change in their employment in November, their gains totalled 101,000 (+4.6%) on a year-over-year basis. Their unemployment rate was also little changed in November, at 4.9%.

In November, employment for young people aged 15 to 24 was little changed, as was their unemployment rate, which stood at 11.6%. Nonetheless, youth employment rose by 96,000 (+3.9%) from 12 months earlier, driven by 20- to 24-year-olds.

Employment down in both goods and services

In November, employment fell in both the goods-producing and services-producing sectors.

In the goods-producing sector, fewer people worked in manufacturing (-28,000) and in natural resources (-6,500), with most of the declines in each of these industries observed in Quebec. On a year-over-year basis, national employment in manufacturing was little changed, while it declined in natural resources (-25,000 or -7.2%), largely in Alberta and British Columbia.

The employment decrease in the services-producing sector was mostly accounted for by public administration, where the number of workers fell by 25,000 in November. The bulk of this decline was in Quebec, Ontario and Alberta. On a year-over-year basis, employment gains in public administration totalled 49,000 (+5.0%) at the national level, reflecting an upward trend that began at the start of the year. Most of these gains were accounted for by Ontario and British Columbia.

Fewer private-sector employees in November

There were 50,000 fewer private-sector employees in November, while self-employment and public-sector employment were little changed. On a year-over-year basis, the number of private-sector employees increased by 146,000 (+1.2%), while public-sector employment was up by 115,000 (+3.0%) and self-employment held steady.

Although job gains or loses are a Provincial number for the most part, the ONEWAYs here in Canada love to pick cherry's news and post any negative job numbers.  But never actually post the facts because this was last months report

Most in a single year since the last time Liberals were in power go figure

The real story is Canada is in good shape OUR JOBLESS RATE IS AT A 50 YEAR LOW

Canada has now added 358,100 since December, the most in the first nine months of a year since 2002

The economy added 53,700 jobs last month, Statistics Canada said Friday in Ottawa, following a gain of 81,100 in August. Canada has now added 358,100 since December, the most in the first nine months of a year since 2002

That media bias fact check is all good and fine but, bypass the part you find “biased” in these rags and look for some facts.  Like this one.  Do you find “Canada’s National statistics agency” to be reputable?

 “.....while Canada lost 71,200 jobs, the biggest monthly loss since the financial crisis, according to Canada’s national statistics agency.”

Zambroski what's unemployment like in the area where you live?

When the oil fields lose jobs due to low oil prices and they can't produce the oil at a profit it's beyond the federal control.

Don't forget the oil sands product trades a low price because it has limited customers. In fact we don't even have a refinery in Canada that can use it.

correct almost 200k more jobs this year   thanks for proving the point Caonda doing very well.... 50 year low isn't a bad thing 

Do you even know how monthly numbers work in Canada?  I assume you don't 

 

Just imagine the numbers if we calculated them the same way the USA does

My point exactly.

Oil companies can't make a profit with quality oil trading at under $60.

WCS is trading at $38.50.

At these prices no wonder oil companies are not producing it.

This is going to continue until Trudeau gets the boot, and it will take years to fix 

he’s a typical brain dead liberal, so my guess is they’ll just find a way to hire a bunch of government workers and call it fixed

It isn't government policies that is slowing Alberta it is world OIL prices 

This pipe line across Canada (once completed) will not solve the problem Alberta has developed.  They need to move on and create other Employment.... 

Lets remember all of Alberta is about the size of the GTA 

 

The OIL giants can change the price of OIL over night if they wish too by increasing or decreasing barrels being pumped.

 

It amazes me that ALBERTA never once complained about FEDERAL government until it wasn't Conservative, Harper did ZERO to help Alberta prepare for today, now all of a sudden its all Trudeau's fault

private-sector employees increased by 146,000 2019 so far 115 000public sector - sounds like Businesses are growing  

There isn't anything to fix, December numbers will be up like always due to Christmas hiring then decrease in January like always 

 

You really must be new to the country HARPER had nowhere near these numbers ever, even with the surplus he inherited - but you feel this will end when SCHEER who has never had a job becomes PM    what a fucking ONEWAY

Not another Trail. 

If you think Canada can continue to be prosperous with businesses/investments leaving this country in droves then I'd like some of what your smoking! 

Trudeau is doing absolutely nothing to help Canadians, in fact he tries to screw Canadian's every chance he gets and is succeeding. You 2 with your blinders on and because of you admiration for anything Liberal, can't see it though.

I just got off the phone trying to convince my buddies out west that there is no need to move to Texas as the big Metropolis of Seaforth, Ontario, with a population of 2,680, is booming like no tomorrow. 

Surprisingly, not one of them asked any questions but a few also asked me what I was smoking?

Every reno guy I know is busy as fuck, I feel bad for guys like IRV that aren't doing well and are looking for the government to do everything for them.
