Quick Summary

Statistics Canada is releasing October's labour force survey today, with economists predicting an addition of 13,600 jobs and the unemployment rate staying at 6.5%. The previous month saw a loss of 68,000 jobs and a slight rise in the unemployment rate. These forecasts come amid tensions from the ongoing trade war between Canada and the United States and the Bank of Canada's recent interest rate hike to curb inflation risks.
