Statistics Canada reported Friday that the health-care and social assistance sectors added jobs, while wholesale and retail trade, and manufacturing all shrank.
Part-time jobs accounted for all of the gains (up by 54,700 positions), while full-time jobs declined for the first time in six months, losing almost 40,000 jobs.
Most of the gains were driven by public-sector employment, which increased by 50,000 jobs.
