OTTAWA, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Canada's economy added nearly four times the number of jobs forecasted for December and reached its highest number in almost two years, shrinking bets for a rate cut later this month though one is still expected by the majority of economists.
The economy added a net 90,900 jobs last month, with almost two-thirds coming from full-time work, Statistics Canada said on Friday. The job gains for third time in the past four months were spread across several industries, the agency said.
The unemployment rate, or the share of the labor force which is unemployed, surprisingly ticked down to 6.7%.

I keep hearing noise around how the economy isn't great (same for the US) yet the jobs reports that keep coming out say things are at least ok. I'm not sure what to believe - the dollar sucks, rate cuts are coming fast and furious but employment is strong yet lots of people are without work.

This is really a regional problem and the assholes who have run (and still run) Burnaby and Surrey are not the types to ever lift a finger for this kind of stuff. Burnaby can't even manage to build sidewalks and streetlights, they're too busy saying they don't have any debt while their residents can't walk around at night and people in wheelchairs can't cross streets.
