Canada's economic system added 60,000 jobs in sept, whipping expectations with gains for the most part led by the tariff-vulnerable manufacturing sphere, Statistics Canada said on Friday.
The data agency said 28,000 jobs were added to manufacturing, marking the industry's first increase in employment since January and since the U.S. Trade war forced it to contend with thousands of job losses.
The unemployment rate remained unchanged in August at 7.1 per cent. While part-time employment fell by 46,000, about 106,000 full-time jobs were added.
Gains were also seen in health care and social assistance, which added 14,000 jobs, and agriculture, which added 13,000 jobs. However, these were partly offset by a drop-off in wholesale and retail trade employment, which lost 21,000 jobs.
Alberta gained far more jobs than any other province, adding 43,000.
Average hourly wages went up by 3.3 per cent, or $1.17, to $36.78 compared to the same time last year.
