Canada's jobs data continued on an upwards curve during January, despite experts predicting a slow down following a stellar December. Employment rose by 48,300 jobs, a decent gain in isolation, but increasingly significant when added to consistent monthly gains since August 2016. The unemployment rate fell to 6.8 per cent. The Canadian economy has now added 276,000 jobs, a rise of 1.6 per cent, in the last 12 months.
