DevelopingNext check : The next monthly labour-force release, which will supersede the July report; any revisions to July figures remain part of this situation.

Where it stands

Statistics Canada reported that Canada added 75,000 jobs in July 2026, far above economists’ forecast, while unemployment fell to 6.4 per cent, its lowest level in two years. The report described a third straight monthly unemployment-rate decline and uneven job gains across provinces and full- and part-time work; the July figures remain the focus until the next monthly labour-force release.
