The Canadian labour market took another step in the right direction in July, as tailwinds from the economic re-opening propelled a third straight month of solid job gains. Hard-hit areas of the service sector \u2014 which were furthest from pre-pandemic levels in June \u2014 continued their rebound last month, with accommodation and food service accounting for an outsized share of job growth<\/a>. Return to work in these areas is crucial to recovering the massive losses sustained in March and April. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s job numbers continue to highlight the quick wins that were available as things reopened. However, there were signs that further progress might not be as rapid, as a return to work among those temporarily laid off was the prime source of job gains. The job market has now recouped about 55% of its losses, and there\u2019s still a ways to go with the share of the adult population employed remaining 4.5 percentage points below where it was in February. Moreover, the majority of job gains were in part-time work, including among some who would have preferred full-time hours<\/a>. Getting back to pre-pandemic levels is going to require more gas in the tank. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
