Canada lost 31,000 jobs last month, the second straight monthly decline

Canada’s economy lost 30,600 jobs in July, Statistics Canada said Friday.

It’s the second month in a row of lost jobs, coming on the heels of 43,000 jobs lost in June.

Most of the losses came in the service sector, which lost 53,000 positions. That was offset by a gain of 23,000 jobs in goods-producing industries.
