Statistics Canada: A consensus of economists had been expecting Canada to create only about 15,000 jobs during the month, according to CBC. "All of the employment gains in May were among private-sector employees, offsetting losses over the previous two months for this group," the data agency said and Canada's economy had its best month for job creation in more than a decade last month, adding 95,000 new jobs, according to Statistics Canada. The gain reported Friday was more than three times as much as the most optimistic expectation among closely watched economists. 'It is equivalent to the U.S. adding over one million jobs in a single month.' Scotiabank (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
