  In the wake of President Donald Trump's recent executive order, which mandates the recognition of only two sexes—male and female—there is growing pressure on the Canadian government to offer refuge to America's transgender community.

U.S. Job Market Shows Resilience with 227,000 New Jobs in November


The U.S. job market rebounded strongly in November, adding 227,000 jobs, a significant recovery from October's meager gain of 36,000 jobs. This bounce-back was largely due to the return of Boeing workers and the recovery from recent hurricanes. Despite this positive job growth, the unemployment rate ticked up slightly to 4.2% from 4.1% in October.

The Labor Department's report highlighted that hourly wages rose by 0.4% from October to November and 4% from a year earlier, indicating continued wage growth despite the economic challenges. The job gains were concentrated in healthcare, social assistance, leisure and hospitality, and government sectors.

Economists noted that while the job market remains strong, it has lost some momentum compared to the hiring boom of 2021-2023. The Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes aimed at taming inflation have contributed to this gradual slowdown.

Overall, the November employment report suggests that the U.S. job market is resilient but facing headwinds from higher interest rates and ongoing economic adjustments.
