CAD sees little reaction to Canada labour market report

The Canadian economy added only72.5 k jobs in March, following a 336.6k gain in February 336.6 and below market expectations of 80k. It was mainly driven by an increase of 93K in full-time work while part-time jobs fell by 20.3K. Employment rose in both the services-producing (42K) and the goods-producing (31K) sectors. Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island recorded employment growth.

The unemployment rate in Canada fell to 5.3% in March of 2022 from 5.5% in February and in line with analysts' estimates.
