All of the employment losses in February were in full-time (-111,000), while
part-time employment edged up slightly. This continues the downward trend in
full-time employment observed since October. Part-time employment has shown only
a marginal increase over the same period.

In February, the largest decline in employment occurred in Ontario (-35,000),
followed by Alberta (-24,000) and Quebec (-18,000).

Men aged 25 to 54 were particularly hard hit by February's employment decline
(-66,000). Since the start of the labour market downturn, employment among
core-age men has fallen by 170,000 (-2.7%).

Employment among 15 to 24 year-olds also continued to trend down in February
(-29,000). This latest decline brings total losses since October to 104,000
(-4.0%), the fastest rate of decline of all age groups. The unemployment rate
for youths was 14.2% in February, up 2.0 percentage points from last October.

A decrease of 43,000 in construction accounted for over half of the employment
decline in February. There were also losses in professional, scientific and
technical services; educational services; and natural resources. The only
industries with gains in February were manufacturing and agriculture.

In February, the increase in average hourly wages was 3.9% compared with 12
months earlier. The most recent year-over-year increase in the Consumer Price
Index was 1.1%.
