Canada’s labour market added a net 90,400 jobs in April, with the employment rate remaining unchanged at 6.1 percent, Statistics Canada said on Friday.
The increase exceeded analysts’ expectations, with employment growth driven by an increase in part-time employment, the federal data agency said, adding that 50,000 part-time jobs were created in April.
