Canada's Slowing Jobs Market May Have Perfect, Hard or 'Softish' Landing, TD Says

Canada's labour market is navigating through a deceleration phase, with three potential outcomes on the horizon, as per economists at Toronto-Dominion Bank. Here are the key takeaways from the analysis:

Key Takeaways

  • Employment Scenarios:

    • Perfect Landing (10-20% Probability):

      • Unemployment peaking at 6%, with a gradual balance in job market by spring 2024.

      • Moderate net gains in employment as firms retain employees, with a decrease in job switching and wage hikes normalizing by end of 2024.

    • Hard Landing (20-30% Probability):

      • Unemployment spiking between 7% to 9% due to a deep recession triggered by impactful interest rate hikes.

      • Potential hefty job losses up to 500,000 positions, quick inflation control, but a prolonged recovery period.

    • Softish Landing (60% Probability):

      • Unemployment peaking at 6.7% with net job losses of 50,000 starting at year-end.

      • Economists emphasize the need for meticulous attention from the Bank of Canada to ensure a soft landing.

  • Current Labour Market Dynamics:

    • Unemployment rate held at 5.5% in August, with an 11.6% increase in unemployed individuals since April.

    • Average hourly wages increased by 4.9% in August year-over-year, with job vacancies remaining high despite a slight decline from record levels.

  • Bank of Canada's Stance:

    • Aims to cool down the job market to achieve a 2% inflation target.

    • The central bank's wish is seeing fruition as signs of a cooling job market emerge, aiding in the control of inflation, which had soared to a 40-year high last summer.

  • Inflation Dynamics:

    • Consumer Price Index (CPI) decelerated to 3.3% in July, indicating a moderation in inflationary pressures.

Trudeau government makes a move to regulate podcasts. The Online Steaming Act passed earlier this year has faced backlash; esteemed Canadian author Margaret Atwood called it “creeping totalitarianism.” Commenters noted it’s only applicable to podcasts generating $10 million, but people are still uncomfortable with the level of involvement the Canadian government has in media.

In case you didn’t open social media apps even once this past weekend, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made their relationship NFL jumbotron official. Here’s a timeline of their super fresh romance that some are calling a “PR Stunt.”

We’re rooting for you Tayvis… or Traylor?
