The unemployed rate remains unchanged at 8.2 % despite a small increase in the number of jobs of 17,900 below economist's predictions.there was actually a net loss of 14,200 full time jobs but 32,200 part- time jobs were created The rate remained at 8.8 % in Ontario and diminished slightly in Québec to 8.0 %.
So the recovery is still far too timid for the Bank of Canada to raise interest rates anytime soon. If the governor Mr. Carney does so, he will make a blunder of considerable proportions
My blog explores the financial crash, the rediscovery of Keynes, the debate between Keynes and the monetarists, the laissez-faire school versus the Keynesian school , the state of modern macroeconomics, the problems of unemployment,economic growth,international trade, public debt and deficits and the issue of inflation versus deflation. It reviews and debates economic policy in North America, Europe and Asia.It also from time to time comments upon culture, cinema and politics.
