The eye-popping number will no doubt raise some skepticism. As Statscan notes, its labour force survey estimates are based on a sample, and “are therefore subject to sampling variability.”

The sample survey is based on responses from 53,000 representative households across Canada and was conducted between April 11 and April 17.

Two thirds of the time, the results are accurate within 28,000 jobs. In 95 times out of 100, they’re correct within 56,000 jobs.
