According to Jin10, Canada Chamber of Commerce economist Anupriya Gangopadhyay said Canada's labor market weakened further in September after relatively strong job growth in the spring and summer, with employment falling for a second straight month. She said the latest jobs report strengthens the case for the Bank of Canada to take a more dovish stance at its October 28 monetary policy meeting. Gangopadhyay said the labor market is clearly weakening, but the Bank of Canada still needs to balance soft hiring, inflation pressure, and broader economic uncertainty.
