OTTAWA – Statistics Canada is set to report employment figures for June today.<\/p>\n
A Reuters poll of economists expect the pace of hiring stalled in June, with no change in employment predicted, according to LSEG Data & Analytics.<\/p>\n
Economists also expect the jobless rate rose a tick to 7.1 per cent last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trade-sensitive sectors such as manufacturing and transportation have faced job losses in recent months as Canada’s tariff dispute with the United States hampers the economy.<\/p>\n
Last month, U.S. President Donald Trump doubled tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50 per cent and signalled this week that he intends to levy matching tariffs on copper imports.<\/p>\n
The June jobs numbers will be the last look the Bank of Canada gets at the labour market ahead of its next interest rate decision on July 30.<\/p>\n
