Canada’s Perplexing Job Report: Uncovering the Truth Behind the Numbers In this episode, we take a deep dive into Canada's latest job report, which claims the addition of 54,000 jobs in November and a decrease in unemployment to 6.5%.

We explore why payroll data contradicts the headline figures and the potential inaccuracies of the Labor Force Survey. We also discuss how the market reacts to these reports and the implications for bond yields, mortgage rates, and the Canadian economy.
