The latest Labor Force Survey held by Statistics Canada has reported that there has been a fall in unemployment in Canada for the fourth consecutive month. Thus, in September 2021, unemployment reached 6.9%. This was the lowest unemployment rate since the COVID-19 pandemic started. The reason for this was the rejoining of workers in the workforce of Canada in various industries.
Statistics Canada has also revealed that jobs in the public and private sectors came back in September 2021. Big job returns were recorded in the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, and Ontario.
Job additions in natural resources and manufacturing sectors
The manufacturing sector saw 22,000 jobs added lately. The addition of jobs in the natural resources sector was 6,600.
Higher vaccination rates have played an important role in bringing the Canadian economy around, making it possible for the country to recover from the hardships it faced during the pandemic.

During the onset of the COVID-19, and while restrictions were imposed owing to the pandemic, immigration was the reason there was a population growth of 74.9%. This was revealed by Statistics Canada in September 2021.
International migration increased from 24,329 in Q2 of 2020 to 75,084 in Q2 of 2021. This indicates that the number of skilled immigrants newly arriving to work in Canada has increased.
