What happened
Statistics Canada released national employment statistics showing that Canada shed 68,000 jobs in September. Young people were responsible for 48,000 of those losses. Youth unemployment now sits at 13 per cent, double the national rate, and barely half of Canadians aged 15 to 24 currently have a job.
Why it matters
The employment figures provide essential input for the Bank of Canada to guide its monetary policy decisions. The job losses and high youth unemployment rates reflect significant shifts in the Canadian labor market.
