Employment rose 28,000 in September – but construction jobs tanked: ADP
By Talent Canada Staff
Canada added 28,200 jobs from August to September, according to the latest ADP Canada National Employment Report.
“September’s softer gain reflected job growth increases in trade, transportation and utilities, combined with professional/business services,” said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice-president and co-head of the ADP Research Institute. “While most industries saw minor to modest improvements, construction and information saw notable declines.”
