Finally, a piece of good news: Canadian employers created 107,000 new jobs in September, mainly part-time.
The employment numbers exceeded market forecasts, although the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 6.1 per cent.
Economists had been expecting a small increase in the number of new jobs, of about 8,000, after a modest 15,000 increase in August. They had also forecast a slight rise in the unemployment rate to 6.2 per cent from August's 6.1 per cent.
