These findings have been made from the result of a survey conducted by Statistics Canada. This latest data brought out the conditions in the labor market in the week of August 15 to August 21, 2021.

During this period, Canada had already rolled back the public health measures to prevent the COVID-19 pandemic to near-final stages. The Canadian border was open to tourists from the US who are fully vaccinated.

The increase in people who work in Canada was seen mainly in service industries. Besides them, significant gains were seen in the information, culture, and recreation industries. The construction industry saw an increase in the number of people working in it.

There was a drop of 7% in long-term unemployment in August. Nevertheless, it stood at 120% above the levels before the pandemic.
