Statistics Canada says economy lost 213,000 jobs in January

[Guest]

Heard personal bankruptcy down 30% in 2020. So much for the economic hardship I keep hearing about. Guess guaranteed income does work in Canada.

Where and when will this New Green Economy with all its jobs get going?

Every lefty you hear talk about jobs goes on and on about the New Green Economy.

So much, for all those predicted green jobs!
Only 50% of "renewable jobs" that existed in Germany in 2011, exist now. They moved to China!

Hey Jazz why didn't you share this information from the Statscan jan 21 report too?

Or also that jobs increased in Saskatchewan in Jan 2021 from the same Stats can report

In Saskatchewan, however, the unemployment rate fell from 8.0 per cent in December to 7.2 per cent in January. That’s the lowest mark among the provinces.

Employment in the province grew by 2,200 jobs from December.

Good to see conservative provinces of Alberta and Sask starting to recover

So IF Sk and Ab added, that means Canada actually lost 236,000, jobs somewhere else.

My daughter in Toronto said they closed most of the Starbucks in downtown plus countless other small shops and foodcourts. Baystreet bankers work from home now so they don't go downtown and buy $500.00 shoes or $8.00 coffees during their break. Daughter is slumming it now and drinking TIM HORTONS. Seems the once great service industry everybody bragged about is taking the biggest hit out east. Ya those factory jobs that moved to China don't help back here too much !
