Economic Context
June's jobs report marks the first meaningful increase in employment since January, breaking a trend of largely stagnant job creation in 2025. Notably, the vast majority of employment growth was concentrated in part-time positions, reflecting greater demand for temporary roles across many industries during the summer.
Moreover, the Canadian labour market remains relatively weak, with the national unemployment rate hovering near its highest level since the pandemic. This report likely supports a neutral stance from the Bank of Canada and a potential rate hold at its upcoming meeting, though resurgent tariff risks may complicate the Bank’s outlook.
