The number of jobs in Canada rose by more than 1.0 million in June compared to May, according to the ADP Canada National Employment Report released today. Gains were across sectors.

“The labor market posted employment growth as a result of businesses reopening and many returning to work,” said Ahu Yildirmaz, VP and co-head of the ADP Research Institute. “Nearly every sector showed positive gains with trade and professional business services leading the way. Manufacturing, however, experienced job losses.”
