From CBC.ca:

Canada added 79,000 jobs last month as the country’s unemployment rate dipped 0.1 percentage points to 8.5 per cent.

Statistics Canada said Friday that full-time employment increased by 39,000 in November, the third consecutive monthly increase, while part-time employment grew by 40,000, following two months of declines.

The job growth far surpassed the consensus expectations of economists, who had been projecting the creation of 15,000 jobs, and for the unemployment rate to rise to 8.7 per cent.

In Quebec, employment grew by 21,000 in November, pushing the province’s unemployment rate down 0.4 percentage points to 8.1 per cent.

Hopefully Canadian game companies are responsible for a part of those new jobs.
