Workers install glass at a fast-food restaurant in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on September 5, 2025. Canada's unemployment rate jumps to a nine-year high outside the pandemic as the economy sheds 66,000 jobs in August, according to new data from Statistics Canada. The unemployment rate rises to 7.1 percent in August largely due to a decline in part-time work, a level last seen in May 2016 if the COVID-19 years of 2020 and 2021 are excluded, the data agency says.
