The lockdown because of the coronavirus pandemic caused significant problems for the economy and the labor market. Many people lost their jobs at a time when they needed it the most. The Canadian government has been trying to offer assistance to everyone in need but the main priority is to restart the economy and add more jobs.

How did October turn out?

October has been yet another successful month for the country with the creation of another 84,000 jobs. While the employment growth rate has been lower in comparison to the other months, it does not take away from the importance of this achievement. The slight rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in October led the country to impose more restrictions which is one of the primary reasons why the employment growth has been slow.
