  • Unemployment rate up for 3rd straight month

The jobless rate went up for a third straight month in July, rising to 5.5 per cent as the economy struggles to create enough jobs to match Canada's rapidly rising population.

Statistics Canada reports the economy lost 64-hundred jobs.

Job losses were led by the construction industry, while the greatest job gains were made in health care and social assistance.
