Employment services industry
The employment services industry's total operating revenue reached $6.1 billion in 2004, up 6.5% from 2003. A distinguishing feature of this industry is that a sizable portion of the overall activity was generated by a relatively small number of enterprises.
Labour productivity
Labour productivity in the Canadian business sector rose for the first time in three years in 2005, and the nation's manufacturing sector played a considerable role in the recovery.
Labour Force Survey
Employment increased by an estimated 25,000 in February as a large gain in part time more than offset losses in full time. At the same time, the unemployment rate fell by 0.2 percentage points to 6.4%, matching the 30-year low set in November 2005.
