The November jobs data is the last report before the Bank of Canada issues its final rate decision of the year on Dec. 11.
Statistics Canada revealed that the unemployment rate rose to 6.8% (Exp:6.6%), the highest since January 2017 (excluding the COVID-19 pandemic), while the economy added 50,500 jobs, 25,500 more than expected.
