"We saw continued strength in employment growth this month," said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and co-head of the ADP Research Institute. "There were significant increases in many industries. However, professional services added the most jobs in February, after experiencing losses for the past four months. This growth was primarily driven by administrative support positions which buoyed the overall decrease in management roles."
The January total of jobs added was revised down from 35,400 to 32,900.
The March 2019 ADP Canada National Employment Report will be released at 8:30a.m.ET on April 18, 2019.
