Canada's job creation machine was supposed to be broken.
Instead, its rusty gears just churned out a whopping:
- 66.6k net jobs in October (est. -2.5k | prior 60.4k)
- 6.9% unemployment (est. 7.1% | prior 7.1%)
- 4.0% wage growth for permanent employees

Even the most feathery of doves can't deny that these headline numbers were shockingly racy for an economy that's supposedly sputtering.
