In November 2024, Canada's unemployment rate rose to 6.8%, an increase of 0.3 percentage points from October 2024. This marks the highest unemployment rate since January 2017, excluding the COVID-19 pandemic years. Despite this rise in the unemployment rate, the country saw an increase of 51,000 jobs, primarily in full-time positions and the public sector [1][3].

Key Highlights:


  • Unemployment Rate: 6.8% in November 2024.

  • Job Growth: 51,000 new jobs added.

  • Employment Rate: Steady at 60.6%.

  • Participation Rate: More individuals entered the job market, contributing to the rise in the unemployment rate [2][3].


The increase in the unemployment rate is attributed to a higher number of people actively seeking work, with 87,000 individuals newly unemployed in November. Economists suggest that while the jobless rate has increased, it does not necessarily indicate a downturn in the labor market, as consumer demand remains strong [3].
