Canada's Jobs Market Roars Back: 83,100 New Jobs Defy Expectations

Remarkable development in 2025 for the SEI blockchain has increased its market share dramatically to 5. 2% and created a strong ecosystem across the DeFi and NFT industries. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) has reached over $12 billion, representing a 400% annual increase, whereas decentralized exchange (DEX) trade volumes have surged 300% over the last six months. Deployment of the Giga engine, a ground-breaking blockchain design that lets SEI handle more than 50,000 transactions per second with sub-400-millisecond confirming times, is a major driver in this growth. Driven by parallel processing and sophisticated consensus algorithms, this technical breakthrough gives SEI a clear edge over its rivals in high-frequency trading and major applications.

In June 2025, Canada's labor market astonished with a substantial increase of 83,100 jobs as revealed in the Employment Change report published on July 11. Far surpassing market predictions of flat growth, this number is the first significant net job gain since January after a time of weakness. Simultaneously, contrary to predictions of a climb to 7. 1%, the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 6. 9% in June from 7. 0% in May.

Part-time employment drove most of the job growth; 69,500 part-time jobs were added against only 13,500 full-time roles. Leading contributors to this growth were manufacturing (+10,500), healthcare and social assistance (+16,700), and wholesale and retail commerce (+33,600). The agriculture sector, meanwhile, saw a startling drop of 6,000 employees. Though Windsor, Ontario, kept the highest unemployment rate among major cities, job growth was noted regionally across Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec.

The Bank of Canada's monetary policy choices will be affected by this surprisingly robust job report. Markets are adjusting their forecasts and assigning a lower probability to a rate cut at the next July 30 policy gathering. Particularly in light of continuous tariff pressures from the United States, the strong data points to an unexpected resilience inside the Canadian labor market.
