StatsCan has release their Labour Force Survey for February and the numbers aren't pretty.
Canada lost 83,000 jobs in February pushing the unemployment rate to 7.7%.
Canada lost 111,000 full-time positions (so much for job security) while part-time employment increased slightly. The largest declines were in the 3 most economically important Canadian provinces - Ontario (35,000), Alberta (24,000) and Quebec (18,000).
