Canada's unemployment ‌rate rose to a six-month high of 6.9 per cent in April as the economy lost 18,000 jobs, Statistics Canada data showed on Friday, indicating a continued weakness in the labour market which has struggled in the face of U.S. tariffs and trade uncertainty.

While Canada has added 67,000 jobs since April 2025, since the start of this year it has lost a cumulative 112,000.
