The loonie staged a strong rally on Friday following a report showed that Canada’s unemployment rate dropped below 8% for the first time in more than a year in June, as employers continued to add jobs in a robust recovery for the nation’s jobs market.
Employment rose by 93,000 in June, pushing the unemployment rate down 0.2 percentage points to 7.9%, according to data from Statistics Canada released Friday.
This is the first time the rate has been below the 8% mark since January 2009.
Economists were expecting the unemployment rate to remain the same at 8.1% and the economy to add only 20,000 jobs.
