A curated resource of recent research on trends shaping Canada's labour market.
This report highlights the economic effects and the recovery outlook of the COVID-19 pandemic for Atlantic Canada. Within the first two months of the pandemic, the economic impact in Atlantic Canada was similar to the rest of Canada. However, the region began recovering faster. By July 2020, it had regained 61% of all jobs lost, compared to 55% nationally. But long-term challenges remain that may slow economic recovery. Employment improved rapidly between May and June but slowed significantly in July. Among all sectors, the tourism, transportation, food services and accommodation, and entertainment and recreation sectors will take the longest to fully recover.
