Employment in Canada increased by 10,700 jobs from December to January according to the January ADP Canada National Employment Report.

"Hiring in Canada is off to a good start for 2018," said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and co-head of the ADP Research Institute. "Although we saw losses in education and finance, there were strong gains in construction and leisure and hospitality. Construction job growth is likely driven by the record number of housing units currently under construction. The leisure and hospitality industry is growing to meet the needs of consumers and international tourists."
