Payroll employment, earnings and hours
June 2005 (preliminary)
The average weekly earnings of payroll employees increased by $8.13 from May to June (seasonally adjusted) to $732.64.
This brings the annualized rate of increase for the first half of 2005 (average of first six months of 2005 compared to the first half of 2004) to 2.2%. At mid-year, industries showing the largest gains for 2005 were mining, oil and gas extraction (+5.2%), accommodation and food services (+5.0%), retail trade (+3.8%) and other services (+3.8%).
Average hours for hourly paid employees were up 0.3 in June after declining 0.1 hours in May. Average hourly earnings edged up 0.2% in June, and are 2.6% higher for the first six months of the year compared to the first half of 2004.
Payroll employment in June rose by 0.4% or by 51,200 jobs compared with May. Employment increases ranged from 0.1% and 0.4% in every province except Prince Edward Island (+1.6%), Nova Scotia (+0.7%), and Newfoundland and Labrador (-0.5%).
The June job gains bring national year-to-date employment growth to 101,700 jobs. Industries showing the largest increases since the beginning of the year are health care and social assistance (+20,800), retail trade (+18,000), and the administrative and support waste management and remediation services (+17,600). Manufacturing, on the other hand, has lost 36,900 jobs over the same period.
