Politics Insider: Canada’s labour market bounces back
Canada's labour market showed significant improvement in May, adding 87,800 jobs and reducing the unemployment rate to 6.6%. This rebound comes after a period of stagnation, although total employment has only increased by 0.7% over the past year. Economists remain cautious, suggesting that while the job growth is positive, it does not fundamentally change the outlook for the Canadian economy.
