How many of the new jobs were government jobs? That's the stat I like to look at.
How are you guys managing to have both higher unemployment and lower wages than the people right on the other side of the border?
It doesn't say anything about government job. But it has some data about various industries.

That would probably fall under public administration which dropped a lot but now that I think about it that makes sense because there was a huge spike in April of temporary hires for the election. So all those people would come off the books for May.
I think for summer we might see more travel and tourism jobs added as more people are staying in Canada to travel this summer because they are mad about Trump. I know our area is already really busy with cottage goers even during the week. A lot of people working remotely for the summer from here. Usually they would just come on weekends until the July when the kids were out of school but has been busy for a couple weeks now.
