Employment in Canada jumped by 7,200 jobs from January to February, according to new data.
The monthly ADP Canada National Employment Report showed strong growth in construction jobs, up 7,900 for the month.
“The labor market experienced relatively strong gains in trade, transportation and utilities; construction and finance and insurance,” said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and co-head of the ADP Research Institute.
“While the labour market posted solid employment growth, job losses in impacted industries may signal the beginning of the COVID-19 fallout.”
