In January 2026, employment in Canada edged down slightly, causing the employment rate to fall to 60.8 percent. Despite this, the unemployment rate dropped to 6.5 percent because fewer people were actively looking for work. Part-time jobs declined, while full-time employment increased. Private sector employment fell, while public sector employment remained mostly unchanged. Average hourly wages rose 3.3 percent year-over-year to 37.17 dollars.



Employment declined in manufacturing, educational services, and public administration. Gains were seen in information, culture and recreation, business and support services, agriculture, and utilities.

Regionally, Ontario saw a significant employment decrease, whereas Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland and Labrador experienced increases.
