Statistics Canada's updated jobs report shows 42,000 new positions were created in July — a far cry from the 200 that were originally reported.
The federal agency released its initial jobs report last Friday before warning Canadians on Tuesday that it had made a mistake.
The updated figures show a large, 60,000-worker spike in the number of part-time jobs.
The job gains were enough to push the jobless rate down 0.1 percentage points, to 7%.
