Construction employment falls in June
Canadian employment increased by 60,000 positions in June, says Statistics Canada in its latest Labour Force Survey, but the construction sector did not contribute to the gains. Following two months with little change, construction employment decreased by 14,000, or just shy of one per cent, in June. Year-over-year, employment in the industry was little changed in June.
Statistics Canada says the June increase in employment was the largest since January 2023. Employment growth had moderated from February to May, averaging 20,000 per month, following strong growth from October 2022 to January 2023 where average gains were roughly 79,000 per month.

Ontario funding job training for trades
The Ontario government is putting $2.5 million towards training programs for students and others looking for careers in southwestern Ontario. The funds are being directed to four free training projects that will help 385 jobseekers over the age of 55 and 2,300 students, two groups that face barriers to employment.
Although research has shown that more than two-thirds of people over the age of 55 feel the job market is closed to them, and youth in Ontario are unemployed at a rate twice as high as the provincial average, more than 17,000 jobs are going unfilled in the London area.
