ISTANBUL (AA) - Canada's employment increased by 27,000 in May, according to official figures released Friday by Statistics Canada.

On an annual basis, employment was up by 402,000, or 2%, in May, compared to the same month of 2023.
The unemployment rate rose 0.1 percentage point to 6.2% in May, from 6.1% in April, and that figure came in line with market expectations.
