OTTAWA — Statistics Canada will release its latest snapshot of the country’s job market today.
The agency is set to release its labour force survey for October.
The Canadian economy lost 68,000 jobs in September as the unemployment rate rose a tenth of a percentage point to 6.5 per cent.
According to LSEG Data & Analytics, a Reuters poll of economists suggests expectations for a gain of 13,600 jobs for October and for the unemployment rate to remain unchanged.
