June Jobs Report: What It Means for the Bank of Canada's July 15 Decision

  Friday, July 10, 2026 Statistics Canada releases its June Labour Force Survey today, and the timing couldn't matter more. This is the last major economic data point before the Bank of Canada's next interest rate decision on July 15, 2026 — and whichever way the jobs numbers break, they'll shape what happens to borrowing costs for the rest of the summer. What Economists Are Expecting Consensus forecasts point to a modest but positive jobs report. Economists expect Canada added around 10,000 jobs in June, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 6.6%. That would follow a much stronger May, when the economy added 88,000 jobs and the unemployment rate actually fell by 0.3 percentage points. In other words, June's report is expected to show a cooling-off after May's surprise strength — not a reversal, but a return to a more modest pace of hiring.

Your daily horoscope: November 3, 2025

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Just because you don’t get along with someone on a personal level does not mean you cannot work with them. The message of your birthday chart is that a creative partnership can still be a resounding success – IF you can overlook their moral shortcomings.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

You might want to be a bit more secretive about your financial affairs. As the full moon approaches there is a danger you could let slip information that will profit other people more than it profits you, so keep what you know to yourself.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

If you take the time and make the effort to explain your position to family and friends today they won’t be so inclined to think you are keeping things from them. You don’t have anything to hide, so shed some light on the situation.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

There must be an easier way to deal with your exhausting workload, so give it some thought between now and Wednesday’s full moon. It would help, of course, if you stopped trying to do it all on your own. Colleagues will help if you ask them to.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

You may have to put something you have been labouring over on hold for a while. According to the planets the more effort you put into it over the next two or three days the less you will get out of it, so call a temporary halt.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You can be a bit gullible at times, believing what you want to believe rather than seeing the truth that is right in front of you, and the upcoming full moon could make that tendency worse. Deal only in facts and don’t listen to rumours.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

With luck the approaching full moon will dislodge the mental block that has been holding you back and make it easier for you to move closer to your long-term goal. Keep telling yourself that all things are possible if you want them enough.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

A money matter of some kind will come to a head over the next few days and while it might be a touch painful as far as your cashflow is concerned it will also make it easier to plan for the future. Savings need to be made.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

The sun in your sign means the universe is still on your side but other influences warn you must not take relationships for granted. Is there someone you love who needs your attention? Put your own plans on hold and give it to them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Something that once had an emotional hold over you no longer has the power to limit what you do in life, so break free of any and all restraints and show the world what you are capable of – much more than you have been doing of late.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

If you find yourself arguing with someone whose outlook on life is the opposite of your own just remove yourself from the scene while you calm yourself down. In the greater scheme of things it’s not worth the time or the effort.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You have what it takes to compete at the highest level and will get a golden opportunity to shine over the coming week. You must, however, play strictly by the rules even if you believe that your rivals are breaking them. Keep your standards high.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

According to the planets you have been fighting hard to resist changes that could be good for you. Over the next few days you must allow yourself to be guided by events that may not look like a lot of fun but which may yet surprise you.
