Ottawa, October 8, 2010- Today’s Statistics Canada report that Canada’s labour market shed 6,600 jobs in September demonstrates that the Ottawa’s highest priority must be to encourage private sector job creation, says the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.

Today’s employment report follows other reports showing that the Canadian economic recovery is losing momentum in the second half of the year. Uncertainty about the strength of the recovery will likely restrain job gains for the remainder of 2010 and into 2011.
