Jobs losses up in July

[Topaz]

Jobs losses were up to 139,000 for full time and 129,700 for part-time, making the unemployment at 8.0%. The global recovery is still fragile and I can't see why having a global ecomony is such a good thing. It seems for North America, its only bring high unemployment state. No wonder Harper is saying he doesn't want an election, not a good time for the Tories. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/reuters/100806/n_top_news/cnews_us_economy_jobs

Your numbers are wrong. That many full time jobs were lost, but that many part time jobs were gained.

Some of you would make terrible accoutants!

The 9,300 job losses

Btw, I'm not saying these are good numbers. They're not. But only reporting jobs lost, and not counting jobs created is about as intellectually dishonest as one can get. Topaz, I expect better from you. However, Bubbles and punked are habitual liars. They always fudge the numbers.

Well thats much better!!! Let's lose all those full time jobs and we can get excited about part time jobs. Makes sense.

Who's getting excited about part-time jobs? Perhaps your strawman is?!

I was simply correcting the error. These numbers still aren't bad. Most economists say that they're just a correction from job growth that was happening too fast.

This will happen as the stimulus stops their will be corrections just as in the US they lost jobs because Part time census workers were done. This is life we knew the government would ease off and we would feel some crunch it aint to bad.

Sorry about the mistake, I do have problems with the eyes at times. I re-read it again and I see it was a gain in part time, but, those part time jobs are being filled because businesses aren't forced to pay benefits and it doesn't give all part timers access to EI. So how it a person suppose to live on 10-20 hrs a week? These jobs are only good for retirees or students.

What do you mean the figures aren't bad? Tell that to those people who lost their jobs! By those loss of jobs, the government won't get their income taxes and if they start to suffer because of it, then Canadians will see an increase in their income taxes or higher deficit, which do you prefer?

I don't have a job, so I'm one of those people...the figures aren't that bad.

There is no unemployment! I have had an ad in the Unemployment,whoops, Employment office for the last four days looking for general labour. Not one call!

I hire students in the summer ,every year they are lined up looking for summer work ,not anymore.

Replacing full time employees with part time workers and contractors is the latest tool that businesses are using to drive down wages and benefits. Expect to see a lot more of it.
