Canada’s part-time employment showed a notable turnaround in June 2026, reversing a steep decline recorded in the previous month, according to data updated on 10 July 2026.
After a drop of 66.2K part-time positions in May 2026, the latest figures indicate an increase of 17.5K jobs in June 2026. While the gain does not fully offset May’s losses, the shift back into positive territory suggests some stabilization in the part-time segment of the labor market.
The improvement in June’s part-time employment will likely be watched closely by market participants and policymakers as they assess the strength and resilience of Canada’s labor recovery heading into the second half of 2026.
