The outbreak of the COVID-19 led to the shutdown of non-essential services, which resulted in devastating effects for Canada’s labour market. However, in the month of June, the country has recovered the employment rate.
New Brunswick has had the lowest rate of unemployment in Canada since the start of the restrictions implemented due to COVID-19. Compared to Canada’s overall unemployment rate, which currently sits at 12.3%, New Brunswick only has a rate of 9.9%. This has only increased by 2% since last year and has already started to show an improvement of 2.9% since May, according to StatsCan.
As countries start to recover from the impact that the pandemic has had on their economies, Canada seems to have made strides and according to Times magazine, has had the best global responses and some of the most positive results among all G-7 countries in terms of healthcare and Government economic stimulus-response strategies and overall economic recovery, with almost 1 million people returning to work in June 2020 alone.

Canada extended the wage subsidy to support businesses to retain and recruit employees
On July 13, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the extension of the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) until December 2020.
The purpose of the CEWS program is to support businesses in retaining their existing employees on the payroll and to promote the affected firms to re-hire the laid-off employees. This program covers 75 percent of wages for workers at eligible businesses and non-profit organizations, by up to $847 per week.
Through the extension of this program, the federal government aims to provide more support to the workers during the current crisis. This program will help the Canadian economy recover its employment rate.
