Employment in Canada increased by 13,600 jobs from July to August according to the August ADP Canada National Employment Report

"Job growth in August was relatively modest," said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and co-head of the ADP Research Institute. "Despite a pull back in natural resources and mining and the information industry, we saw strong growth in finance, construction, and manufacturing. For the first time in nearly six months the finance space added a substantial amount of jobs."

The July total of jobs added was revised up from 11,600 to 35,500.
