Chart of the Week: Job growth in 2026 - Who’s leading?
We’re nearly half way through 2026, and it’s time to take stock of where the job growth in Canada has occurred. As our Chart of the Week shows, employment in Alberta was up 3.6% on a year-to-date basis through May. Job growth in the other three large provinces was either flat (just +0.2% in Ontario) or negative (Quebec and B.C.). Nationally, the gain was 0.5%. The difference is much more dramatic in absolute terms with Alberta adding over 93K positions compared to the same period last year. Manitoba was second on the list at 14K.
