However, the figure turned out to be lower than the forecasts of experts, who had expected it to increase by 15 thousand places. Unemployment in October fell to a 40-year low, reaching 5.8%. In the previous month, its value was 5.9%, and experts had not expected it to change. The workforce has fallen by 18,200 people, so the number of Canadians seeking work has decreased.

At the same time, the full-time employment rate increased by 33 thousand 900 people, and the part-time, by contrast, decreased by 22 thousand 600 people.
