Employment growth eased, but remained at a pace that would be quite solid in normal times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pandemic-exposed industries like accommodation and food services, as well as information, culture and recreation eased once again. However, their declines weren\u2019t too sharp, and were more than offset by gains elsewhere, including areas like construction and transportation, which had also been lagging.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The issue is that today&#8217;s data release, covering November 8 to 14, is already a bit stale. Both the pandemic, and its resulting economic restrictions have continued to increase since the first half of November, leaving us without much of a sense of where the labour market currently stands. On a positive note, many employers appear to be looking ahead to next year, as job postings on Indeed held up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringlab.org\/en-ca\/2020\/12\/02\/job-postings-through-nov-27\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">through the end of November<\/a>, at a time when they\u2019re usually declining. Nonetheless, the Canadian labour market\u2019s streak of gains will be in jeopardy in December, as the economic hit from the second wave really starts to bite.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Employment rises, but numbers are already out of date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":14068,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"recruiter-hub-blocks.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"post_mwm_category":[715],"post_topic":[],"post_content_type":[],"post_duration":[],"post_actions":[],"post_franchise":[],"post_mwm_author":[670],"class_list":["post-12943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","post_mwm_category-state-of-the-labour-market","post_mwm_author-bbernard"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
