              Quebec Adds 16,600 Jobs To Maintain Historically Low Unemployment

              Quebec Investor Reform Set To Change Landscape of Canada Business Immigration

              Last Updated on February 6, 2020

              Aug 09, 2019 – Quebec added 16,600 jobs in July to maintain a historically low unemployment rate of 4.9 per cent, new Canada jobs figures show.

              The Statistics Canada Labour Force Survey puts the French-speaking province second only to British Columbia in terms of provincial unemployment.

              Canada-wide, unemployment edged up to 5.7 per cent in July, with 24,200 fewer jobs and more people looking for work.

              In the year since July 2018, employment has risen by 353,000, or 1,9 per cent, mainly in full-time work.

              From a demographic standpoint, employment for men aged 25 to 54 rose by 24,000 in July, with their unemployment rate dropping to 4.9 per cent.

              Core-aged women, meanwhile, moved in the other direction, losing 18,000 jobs, with the unemployment rate rising by 0.2 percentage points to 4.5 per cent.

              Over the last year, both core-aged men (112,000 jobs) and women (69,000) have seen significant increases.
