Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey for October 2021 showed that employment held steady and the unemployment rate dropped by 0.2 percentage points to 6.7%.

Despite the number of employed people working less than half their usual hours is still 117,000 higher (+14.5%) than in February 2020, the amount fell by 9.7% (-100,000) in October.

In addition, due to the cancellation of the capacity limits in the sectors where proof of vaccination is mandatory, employment experienced a rise in Ontario and New Brunswick, while having a downward trend in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
