Unemployment Rate
Canada · this week's release: Friday, Sep 4 at 12:30 UTC
Consensus forecast and previous reading from this week's live economic-calendar feed.
What it is
Released with the Canadian employment-change figure, the unemployment rate measures the share of Canada's labour force without work but actively job-hunting. Note this lands the day after the headline jobs print in this week's schedule.
Why it matters to traders
A rising jobless rate hardens the case for further Bank of Canada easing, widening the rate gap with the US and weighing on the loonie. Traders read it alongside the employment change for the full labour-market picture.
