The Bottom Line:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

February’s Canadian labour market report was soft. Employment fell 84,000, adding to the 25,000 losses in January. The unemployment rate rose to 6.7% after dropping to 6.5% in January, and the labour force participation rate declined again, to its lowest level outside the pandemic since 1997.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monthly employment prints are volatile, and headline job growth remains partly distorted by sharply slower population and labour force growth, driven by retirements and government curbs on the share of non-permanent residents. In January and February combined, Canada’s population grew just 12,500\u2014well below the 103,000 increase in 2025 over the same months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, we have warned how soft employment growth could persis<\/a>t<\/a> and mask improvements in underlying hiring demand better reflected in the unemployment rate. In February, the unemployment rate ticked higher to 6.7% but remains below the Q4 2025 average of 6.8%. Total hours worked fell 1.1% in February, leaving Q1 on average flat versus the prior quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, the macro environment\u2014particularly a stabilizing trade backdrop thanks to preserved CUSMA exemptions, healthy domestic consumer spending trends, and continuous monetary and fiscal support\u2014should all support a recovery in hiring demand. We look through near-term volatility, and continue to expect gradual improvements to drive the unemployment rate lower through the remainder of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The details:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • \n

    Employment declined 84,000 (-0.4%) in February, with full-time (mostly private) employment bearing the brunt, falling 108,000 (-0.6%), while part-time work held steady. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  • \n

    Weakness was relatively broad-based across industries. Employment in wholesale and retail trade dropped 18,000 (-0.6%), with a cumulative 52,000 decline (-1.7%) since October. Other services (repair and maintenance services, personal care and laundry services, as well as religious and advocacy activities) fell 14,000 (-1.8%). Manufacturing and construction each edged down 9,200 (-0.5%) and 12,000 (-0.7%) respectively. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  • \n

    Year-over-year, manufacturing employment was down 52,000 (-2.8%), reflecting the ongoing impact of U.S. tariffs on the sector given tightly integrated Canada-U.S. production chains. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  • \n

    The unemployment rate rose 0.2 percentage points to 6.7% in February, but climbed notably higher among youth, up 1.3 percentage points to 14.1%. The participation rate fell 0.1 percentage points to 64.9%, down 0.4 percentage points year-over-year. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  • \n

    As a result of slowing population growth and falling participation rate, Canada\u2019s labour force shrank 146,000 (-0.6%) in January and February combined. Importantly, there are little signs of an increase in discouraged workers dropping out of the labour force \u2013 the supplementary unemployment rate that add back discouraged workers is still moving in tandem with the official unemployment rate. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  • \n

    Looking at the provinces, Quebec led the decline with a 57,000 drop (-1.2%), the first significant monthly decrease since January 2022. Employment in British Columbia fell 20,000 (-0.7%), while Saskatchewan and Manitoba posted smaller declines. Ontario employment held steady but saw unemployment rise 0.3 percentage points to 7.6% as job search increased. Newfoundland and Labrador was the sole province with gains (+2,100; +0.8%). <\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  • \n

    Finally, wage growth in February edged up to 3.9% year-over-year. Statistics Canada highlighted progress in narrowing the gender wage gap over time, though in February women aged 25 to 54 still earned $0.88 on the dollar versus men and were more than twice as likely to work part-time, largely due to childcare responsibilities.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
