Canada's economy added 150,000 jobs in January, blowing past expectations for the second month in a row.
Statistics Canada reported Friday that most of the jobs — more than 120,000 — were of the full-time variety.
The gains come on the heels of an initial report of more than 100,000 jobs in December, a report that the data agency later revised down to just 69,000. But that still brings the two-month tally to more than 220,000 new jobs. January's gain was also ten times more than the amount of jobs that economists were expecting to have been added.
