by Huddle Staff
New Brunswick saw “the most complete employment recovery of all provinces to date,” according to Statistics Canada’s July Labour Force Survey.
Employment in New Brunswick was at 96.6 percent of its February level before the Covid-19 restrictions came into place. The province was among the first to start reopening and easing restrictions. Canada’s employment is at 93 percent of the February level.
Employment in both the service and good-producing sectors has bounced back, reaching 93 percent of pre-pandemic levels.
The July survey also includes information on the labour market conditions of population groups designated as visible minorities. This is the first time such information has been made available.
