Excerpted from the Canada Career Guide

The job market in Canada remains remarkably strong in comparison to the difficulties being experienced south of its border. Unemployment in Canada stands at 5.8 percent, the lowest rate in 33 years. The economy is creating jobs at its fastest pace in six years. To date, little has slowed down the country’s job growth, even after two consecutive years of 350,000+ annual job growth; 65,900 new jobs were added in the first part of this year. This job growth has been driven by hiring in construction, public administration and professional/scientific/technical services. Growth in these areas has offset losses in manufacturing and natural resources; however, in natural resources, negative job growth is most likely the result of severe worker shortages.

This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete Canada guide.
