加拿大7月份就业率下跌 新移民失业率相对较高
加拿大统计局近日公布了劳动力调查最新数据，显示该国今年7月份的就业率为60.9%，较上月下跌0.2个百分点。失业率则维持在6.4%的水平。值得注意的是，新移民的失业率显著高于加拿大本地出生的人群。
7月份，加拿大的就业人数略有减少，基本与上月持平，这也是连续第三个月就业人数基本保持稳定。与去年同期相比，就业人数增加了1.7%。然而，就业率自今年1月和2月达到62.4%的高点后，已连续下降，在过去10个月中有9个月出现下降趋势。
15岁至24岁的青年失业率尤为突出，达到14.2%，较上月增加0.7个百分点，是自2012年9月以来的最高水平，除了新冠疫情期间。
从行业角度来看，批发和零售贸易、金融保险房地产租赁等行业就业人数有所减少，而公共行政、运输和仓储以及公用事业等行业就业人数则实现了增长。
7月份工人的平均时薪为34.97加元，同比增长5.2%，较6月份的5.4%有所下降。
此外，新移民的失业率在2023年7月至2024年7月间上升了3.1个百分点，达到12.6%。其中，青年新移民失业率更是上升至22.8%，同比上升了8.6个百分点。相比之下，加拿大本地出生者的失业率仅上升了0.5个百分点，至5.6%。
这一现象表明，新移民在加拿大就业市场的适应性面临着挑战，尤其是在青年群体中。加拿大政府可能需要采取更多措施，帮助新移民更好地融入当地经济，降低失业率。

Keywords: Job Loss, Immigrant Unemployment, Canadian Statistics

The Canadian employment rate fell in July, with a higher unemployment rate among new immigrants, according to the latest labor force survey data released by Statistics Canada. The employment rate for Canada in July was 60.9%, down 0.2 percentage points from the previous month. The unemployment rate remained at 6.4%. It is noteworthy that the unemployment rate for new immigrants is significantly higher than for those born in Canada.
In July, the number of employed Canadians was slightly reduced, essentially unchanged from the previous month, marking the third consecutive month with stable employment numbers. Compared with the same period last year, the number of employed Canadians increased by 1.7%. However, the employment rate has been declining since reaching a peak of 62.4% in January and February this year, with nine out of the past 10 months showing a downward trend.
The unemployment rate among young people aged 15 to 24 stood out, reaching 14.2%, an increase of 0.7 percentage points from the previous month, which is the highest level since September 2012, excluding the period of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Looking at the industry perspective, employment numbers decreased in sectors such as wholesale and retail trade, as well as financial, insurance, and real estate rental industries, while employment numbers grew in sectors such as public administration, transportation, and utilities, and in the public utilities sector.
The average hourly wage for workers in July was CAD 34.97, an increase of 5.2% year-over-year, down from 5.4% in June.
Additionally, the unemployment rate for new immigrants rose by 3.1 percentage points between July 2023 and July 2024, reaching 12.6%. The unemployment rate for young new immigrants rose to 22.8%, an increase of 8.6 percentage points year-over-year. In contrast, the unemployment rate for those born in Canada increased only 0.5 percentage points, to 5.6%.
This indicates that new immigrants face challenges in adapting to the Canadian job market, particularly among the youth. The Canadian government may need to take more measures to help new immigrants better integrate into the local economy and reduce unemployment rates.
