Canada's economy added almost one million jobs last month, as businesses reopened after COVID-19 shutdowns. But despite that two-month stretch, there are still 1.8 million fewer jobs in Canada today than there were in February. More than half of the new jobs came from Ontario and Quebec, which added 378,000 and 248,000 jobs, respectively. At the lowest point in April, Statistics Canada says 5.5 million Canadian jobs were negatively impacted by the pandemic, with three million jobs completely gone and another 2.5 million being reduced in terms of hours or wages in some way. Canada added almost 1 million jobs in June, but that isn't even halfway toward offsetting the massive plunge seen in COVID-19.
