๐Ÿ‘‰In August, Canada's unemployment rate held firm at 5.5%, with the economy gaining 40,000 jobs, according to Statistics Canada. This report marks the end of a three-month streak of rising joblessness. The federal agency noted that the nation's robust population growth necessitates consistent monthly job growth to maintain the current unemployment rate. Employment increased in professional, scientific, and technical services, as well as construction, while jobs declined in education services and manufacturing. On a positive note, average hourly wage growth remained robust, increasing by 4.9% annually. This data follows the recent decision by the Bank of Canada to keep interest rates unchanged amid signs of economic weakening.โœ… . . #UnemploymentRate #EconomicNews #JobsReport #StatisticsCanada #CanadianEconomy #EmploymentData #LaborMarket #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰As of April 1, 2024, Canada's federal minimum wage jumps to $17.30/hour, rising from $16.65/hour to combat inflation. This impacts federally regulated sectors including banking and transportation. Criticism persists, citing the new rate's inadequacy for living costs. Additionally, five provinces see increases: PEI to $15.40/hour, Nova Scotia to $15.20, New Brunswick to $15.30, Newfoundland and Labrador to $15.60, and Yukon to $17.59. The adjustments aim to address wage disparity but face ongoing scrutiny for meeting living wage standards.โœ… . ๐”๐ง๐ฅ๐จ๐œ๐ค ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฆ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ ๐Š๐š๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ก๐š, ๐š๐ง ๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ซ๐-๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  ๐‘๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐ข๐ง ๐Ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐จ. ๐‚๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ: +๐Ÿ (๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”-๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ“ ๐„๐ฆ๐š๐ข๐ฅ: ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ@๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐œ๐š๐ง๐š๐๐ข๐š๐ง๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ @manojkaratha_realtor . . #CanadaMinimumWage #LivingWage #Inflation #EconomicNews #WorkerRights #WageIncrease #FederalRegulations #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰Canada's annual inflation rate dropped unexpectedly to 2.8% in February, as cellular and internet service prices declined sharply, and grocery price growth slowed. Statistics Canada's consumer price index report reveals a second consecutive month of softened price growth. Economists anticipated a rise above January's 2.9%, partly due to increased gasoline prices. Wireless service prices fell by 26.5%, while internet prices dropped by 13.2% compared to a year ago. Despite slower grocery price growth, food prices still rose by 2.4%. Housing costs contributed to inflation, with mortgage interest up 26.3% and rent up 8.2% annually. The Bank of Canada sees this report as positive evidence but awaits sustained inflation at the 2% target before considering interest rate cuts, expected to begin in June.โœ… . ๐’๐ž๐œ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฆ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ž๐ž๐ง๐š ๐•๐š๐ซ๐ ๐ก๐ž๐ฌ๐ž, ๐Ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐จ'๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ ๐š๐ ๐ž ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ. ๐‚๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ: +๐Ÿ (๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ-๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ–๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ’ @neena.robin . . #InflationRate #EconomicNews #StatisticsCanada #ConsumerPriceIndex #BankofCanada #InterestRates #PriceGrowth #GroceryPrices #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰British Columbia is set to raise its minimum wage from $16.75 to $17.40 on June 1, marking a 3.9% increase. The announcement follows amendments to Bill 2, linking future minimum wage increments to the prior year's inflation rate. This move aims to guarantee annual raises for minimum-wage earners, preventing them from falling behind. Minister of Labour Harry Bains emphasized the province's commitment to addressing wage disparities. Other categories, such as alternate minimum wages for specific roles, will also witness a 3.9% hike. B.C., once among the lowest, now boasts the highest minimum wage among Canadian provinces.โœ… . ๐”๐ง๐ฅ๐จ๐œ๐ค ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฆ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ ๐Š๐š๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ก๐š, ๐š๐ง ๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ซ๐-๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  ๐‘๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐ข๐ง ๐Ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐จ. ๐‚๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ: +๐Ÿ (๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”-๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ“ ๐„๐ฆ๐š๐ข๐ฅ: ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ@๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐œ๐š๐ง๐š๐๐ข๐š๐ง๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ @manojkaratha_realtor . . #MinimumWage #BritishColumbia #EconomicNews #InflationTied #WageIncrease #LabourRights #BCWorkers #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰Canada's annual inflation rate dropped to 2.9% in January, a significant decrease from December's 3.4%. The primary contributor to this decline was lower gasoline prices on a year-over-year basis. Additionally, the growth in grocery prices slowed, increasing by 3.4% annually, down from 4.7% in December. On a seasonally adjusted basis, prices experienced their first decline since May 2020, according to the consumer price index report. The Bank of Canada's preferred core inflation measures, designed to eliminate price volatility, also saw a reduction last month.โœ… . ๐๐š๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐ž๐ฒ ๐ž๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐Š๐š๐ฆ๐š๐ฅ, ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ž๐๐ข๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐†๐“๐€ ๐‘๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ. ๐‚๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ: +๐Ÿ (๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ‘-๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ๐Ÿ” ๐„๐ฆ๐š๐ข๐ฅ: ๐ค๐š๐ฆ๐š๐ฅ@๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐œ๐š๐ง๐š๐๐ข๐š๐ง๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ @kamalpillai_realtor . . #CanadianEconomy #InflationUpdate #PriceDecline #ConsumerPriceIndex #BankOfCanada #EconomicNews #GroceryInflation #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰Canada's economic plan sees Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne unveil a $99 million injection into the Canada Housing Benefit. The "top-up" aims to directly aid low-income renters, offering rent support payments and creating emergency shelter spaces nationwide. Additionally, a $5 million annual boost triples funding for the Contributions Program for Non-profit Consumer and Voluntary Organizations. This initiative, combating grocery price hikes, partners with consumer advocacy groups to investigate inflation and unethical practices. The total housing benefit for 2023-24 reaches $325 million, impacting over 300,000 low-income households by 2027-28.โœ… . ๐๐š๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐ž๐ฒ ๐ž๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐Š๐š๐ฆ๐š๐ฅ, ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ž๐๐ข๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐†๐“๐€ ๐‘๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ. ๐‚๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ: +๐Ÿ (๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ‘-๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ๐Ÿ” ๐„๐ฆ๐š๐ข๐ฅ: ๐ค๐š๐ฆ๐š๐ฅ@๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐œ๐š๐ง๐š๐๐ข๐š๐ง๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ @kamalpillai_realtor . . #OttawaFunding #RentAffordability #GroceryPriceSurge #CanadaEconomicPlan #HousingBenefit #GovernmentInitiative #EconomicNews #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰In December 2023, Canada experienced a 3.4 percent increase in its inflation rate, a widely anticipated rise attributed to a steeper decline in gasoline prices. Grocery prices mirrored the 4.7 percent increase seen in November. Statistics Canada reported an annual average inflation rate of 3.9 percent for 2023, a decline from the 40-year high of 6.8 percent in 2022. The federal agency highlighted a slowdown in price growth across six out of eight components of the consumer price index compared to the previous year.โœ… . ๐๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ˆ๐ง๐๐ข๐š-๐‚๐š๐ง๐š๐๐š ๐Ÿ๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ข๐ญ! ๐‘๐š๐ก๐ฆ๐š๐ง ๐“๐ซ๐š๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ ๐’๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐œ๐ž๐ฌ (๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ—-๐Ÿ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ”, ๐Ÿ—๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ“-๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ๐Ÿ-๐Ÿ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ• ๐ฌ๐š๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ@๐ซ๐š๐ก๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐œ๐ž๐ฌ.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ @rahmantravelservices . . #StatCan #InflationFigures #EconomicNews #DecemberInflation #InflationRate #FinancialNews #CanadianEconomy #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰Canada's inflation rate in May dropped to 3.4%, reaching its lowest point since June 2021. The decrease is anticipated to be positive news for the Bank of Canada, as it prepares for the upcoming interest rate decision on July 12, following a recent quarter-percentage point increase to 4.75%. Statistics Canada's report attributed the slowdown primarily to reduced gasoline prices compared to the previous year. However, despite the overall decline, food inflation has yet to see a significant improvement, with grocery prices remaining high, increasing by nine per cent annually and showing minimal change from April. April had experienced a slight increase in inflation to 4.4%, slightly reversing the progress made since the previous summer.โœ… . . #CanadaInflation #BankOfCanada #InterestRateDecision #GasolinePrices #FoodInflation #GroceryPrices #EconomicNews #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰On Wednesday, the Bank of Canada announced its decision to maintain its policy rate at 4.5%, as it monitors the effects of previous rate hikes on the economy. Having raised interest rates eight times between March 2022 and February 2023, the central bank had signaled its intention to pause any further hikes. The bank had implemented a series of rate hikes in early 2022, following a period of reduced rates at the start of the pandemic to stimulate economic activity. Canada's inflation rate, which had peaked at over 8% in June 2022, has since moderated to just over 5% as of February 2023, with the upcoming release of March data expected to indicate a further decrease to as low as 4%. Overall, this latest decision by the Bank of Canada may impact Canadians looking to purchase a home, as the policy rate can influence mortgage rates and overall affordability.โœ… . . #BankofCanada #KeyRate #MonetaryPolicy #EconomicNews #InterestRates #CanadianEconomy #FiscalPolicy #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
