Job creation is making its way back to pre-recession levels in this country.
The Canadian economy added 43,000 jobs in October, pushing the jobless rate down to its lowest level since November 2008.
Statistics Canada said Friday that Canada has now produced 182,000 jobs in the past year. But two-thirds of those jobs have come in the past two months.
The strong monthly figure is much better than what most economists had been expecting — a slight pullback after a strong September figure.
Private-sector workers and the ranks of the self-employed swelled, while there was a slight decline in the number of public-sector workers, the data agency said.
