Canada lost more than 30,000 manufacturing jobs last month while Windsor saw a jump in its unemployment rate as U.S. tariffs take aim at the automotive sector and feed into economic uncertainty.
Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey on Friday said employment increased by 7,400 nationally, though that figure was padded by an increase in election-related hiring. The overall unemployment rate rose to 6.9 per cent, up from 6.7 per cent in April.
The April jobs figures illustrate how tariffs are beginning to squeeze the Canadian economy, affecting regions and industries most exposed to trade with the United States.
I feel for anyone who has lost their job except for the Liberal Party’s job stealing, medical services swamping, housing shortage causing migrants.
