Statistics Canada to release April job numbers this morning
By Canadian Press on May 9, 2025.
OTTAWA — Statistics Canada will release its latest look at the country’s job market for April this morning.
A poll provided by LSEG Data & Analytics shows economists on average expect a gain of 2,500 jobs in the month.
Economists also predict the unemployment rate will rise by a tenth of a point to 6.8 per cent.
The reading follows the March report that saw a loss of 33,000 jobs and the unemployment rate rise a tenth of a percentage point to 6.7 per cent.
It was the biggest job loss since January 2022 as the uncertainty caused by U.S. tariffs took their toll on the economy.
The U.S. has imposed tariffs on non-CUSMA compliant imports from Canada as well as sector-specific levies on steel and aluminum and automobiles.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 9, 2025.

Hello all! My brother sent me a screenshot of his latest win and challenged me to beat it. In Australia, I clicked on plinko and enjoyed how intuitive the interface is: set your bet, pick the drop spot, and watch gravity take over. Each peg collision feels like a mini thrill, and landing in the top slots gives a sweet rush. I experimented with different entry points, comparing results with my sister who joined from her place. We’re now exchanging tips on our favourite drop coordinates and celebrating our successes over family group chat.
