Canada’s Biggest Job Loss in Years: Youth Unemployment Surges, Bond Yields Drop, and Housing Confidence Cracks Check out Homies - the Ai Virtual Assistants for Realtors: https://meetyourhomies.com/ Browse foreclosures across Canada: https://realist.ca/tools/distress-deals Canada recorded its largest job loss in four years, with 84,000 jobs lost versus expectations of -10,000, bringing a two-month decline to about 109,000 and pushing unemployment to 6.7%. The report was driven by a steep drop in full-time employment (-108,000) and private-sector jobs (-72,000), while youth unemployment jumped to about 14%, erasing recent gains and likely reflecting seasonal hiring fade in wholesale and retail. Bond yields fell after the print as markets priced weaker growth and recession risk, despite ongoing inflation pressures tied to oil and geopolitical tensions. The script argues rising unemployment tends to raise mortgage arrears and distress selling, and that housing remains constrained by confidence fears more than affordability. It also links labor weakness to tariffs, return-to-office as cover for layoffs, and AI-driven substitution of admin and entry-level roles. 00:00 Canada Jobs Shock 00:52 Youth Unemployment Red Flag 01:17 Why Jobs Matter for Housing 02:33 Confidence Keeps Buyers Out 03:10 Not a Random Bad Month 04:35 Return to Office Layoffs 05:19 Youth Jobs and Housing Demand 06:53 Full Time Private Sector Hit 07:37 AI as Labor Headwind 10:43 Bond Market Whiplash 12:33 Rates vs Confidence in Housing 14:49 Recap and Final Takeaways 16:31 Closing and Viewer Questions #canadaeconomy #canada #unemployment #recession #bondyields #canadianeconomy #realestate #canadianpolitics
