Canadian jobs data for February was released today at 1:30 pm GMT. Report was expected to show an over-20k increase in total employment, as well as an uptick in the unemployment rate from 5.7 to 5.8%.
Actual report turned out to be much stronger than expected. While unemployment rate ticked higher in-line with market expectations, total employment change was almost twice as high as expected. Moreover, employment change was entirely driven by full-time jobs.
