Trouble in the auto sector pushed unemployment to its highest rate in 11 years, as the Canadian job market eliminated 42,000 jobs in May, Statistics Canada says.
The unemployment rate jumped 0.4 percentage points to 8.4 per cent, mainly because of manufacturing losses in Ontario. The unemployment rate in Ontario is now 9.4 per cent, the highest in 15 years.

The tide of job losses washing across North America is showing signs of ebbing, feeding hope that the worst of the recession is over. Yet investors and economists are looking past those grim tallies and focusing on subtle details that suggest the nadir of the economic crisis has passed.

Manitoba adding jobs while rest of country loses: Statistics Canada
Zitat While the Canadian unemployment rate in May jumped to its highest level in 11 years, Manitoba bucked the trend, adding 3,900 jobs to its workforce.
The province shares the lowest unemployment rate in Canada with Saskatchewan at 4.9 per cent, Statistics Canada said, adding that the rest of Canada suffered 42,000 job losses as the national unemployment rate climbed to 8.4 per cent in May.
"There's less unemployed people today in Manitoba, according to Statistics Canada, than there were 12 months ago," said Wilf Falk, Manitoba's chief statistician. "That is the best situation in the country."
According to the Statistics Canada, since the recession began last October, 363,000 workers nationwide have lost their jobs, with the bulk of the losses occurring in Ontario.
When looking at the number of unemployed Canadians over the past 12 months, the numbers are startling, said Falk.
da viele firmen an dem work charing program teilnehmen sind die zahlen so nicht korrekt
nehmen wir also mal an eine firma hat 14 mitarbeiter und alle nehmen an diesem program teil so werden 14 mitarbeiter arbeitslos gemeldet wuerde die firma aber 7 mitarbeiter entlassen waeren das nur 7 arbeitslose
so kann man die zahlen auch hochtreiben
in diesem sinne maxim waere es ab und zu besser wenn man doch die realitaet in canada kennen wuerde
