Statistics Canada: Prime-Age Workers and Age Group

statistics canada: The dip from 6.6 per cent in April was partially due a decrease in the number of people seeking work, according to CTV. However, among prime-age workers the unemployment rate dipped to a low of 5.8 per cent. Six per cent of Quebecers were unemployed, the lowest level since Statistics Canada started collecting the data in 1976. We've never seen this before so it's a pretty good report, said National Bank of Canada chief economist Stefane Marion. Across Canada, full-time employment for prime-aged workers rose 31,000 in May, the sixth robust increase in seven months. He said full employment for this key age group is important because they have the biggest propensity to obtain credit in the low interest rate environment. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
