CIBC Research discusses the reaction to today’s Canada’s jobs report for the month of January.
“Market participants are getting schooled in the ways of Canada’s employment numbers, and the lesson seems to be that when they’re too good to be true, they might not be.

But the details also looking wonky, with all of the job losses in part-time work (-137K), and the jobless rate only moving up one tick to 5.9% as the participation rate took a big three-point drop
Overall, a mysterious mix of good and bad, with the latter’s impact blunted by how strong job gains were in the lead up to these figures,” CIBC argues.
