Big jobs numbers.

Another Canadian jobs report has come out. Another set of employment numbers has defied expectations. Another month of rock-solid employment growth is in the books.

And economists despair.

What a strange place, this postpandemic world.

Last Thursday’s labour force survey from Statistics Canada showed that employment rose by another 35,000 jobs in March, defying forecasters’ expectations that the labour market would at least take a breather after adding a ridiculous 172,000 jobs in the first two months of the year. It marked the seventh consecutive month of growth, during which the economy has added nearly 400,000 jobs.
