Good and bad news depending on which side of the 49th parallel you’re on.
Canada - well done! The news was good as the Canadian economy added just under 36,000 jobs, the first time this has happened in six months. Just don’t tell anyone that those jobs came in the “self-employed” category - but nevertheless, poutine for everyone!
US - sorry cuz. Even though your unemployment rate hit a 25-year high, there are glimmers of hope. Over 100,000 fewer jobs were lost in April then in March, although the number is still pretty high. But again - we’ll focus on the positive and ignore the negative. Here’s what the overall pic for 2009 looks like:
Overall recently there have been sign of improvement. The stock market is on a temporary upswing, although nobody knows if that’s a true sign of economic recovery or just human psychology… to bad we can’t run a personality test on all those investors to really see what this is all about!
As more job numbers continue to trickle in over the next months, we’ll keep you posted and if you’d like to share you stories please feel free to contact us or comment on this post.
