Canada's job gains blow past forecasts

OTTAWA — Canada’s economy churned out a surprisingly robust 82,300 jobs in March, the biggest jump in more than three years, knocking the unemployment rate down to 7.2% for the first time since September 2011.

The jump in employment last month was the biggest since September 2008, led by full-time and private-sector hiring. That followed a loss of 2,800 positions in February, which had pushed the jobless rate to 7.4%

So, you trust Govt. data...
Govt is not lying "True", but they are misrepresenting data.
For example: I know a guy who was making $126000 at the Federal Govt. He was laid off, & now he is working for $42000. Is this real employment, in one way yes), his laying off hasn't affected employment data... but he is far under-employed, to his capacity.

There are several examples likes this; there are plenty of low-paying jobs, which can't even take care of family's monthly expenses: from jobs data prespective, the person is employed, but still he can't pay his bills... thats where the weakness is.



100% True.
Living standard is getting down in Canada. People are piling more and more debt.
Unless there is an open competition in businesses, things will never change. Corporates monopoly has to go away.

I see such cases differently. He was getting 126k out of tax payer money. If he really have skills in demand . He can get job for similar salary anywhere in canada or US. I gave myself 3 months when I enter Canada to get job at certain level. Else I would have move back to UK or India. Real economy moves when jobs pays for itself. I give current govt full marks on trying /putting effort in removing red tape . I am sorry if people get hurt by my comments. The public sector jobs salary in canada is higher than anywhere in world.

You guys believing the Car Sales persons. In this profession, they have to speak so much that even the sales person doesn’t know what he/she promised. The profession is one of most non-trusted profession. They are expert in moving the caps (Topi).
