2026.04.1012:30:00UTC+00Canada’s Part-Time Hiring Cools in March as Growth Slows from February Peak

Canada’s part-time employment growth eased in March 2026, signaling a moderation in the pace of hiring after a strong February surge. The latest data show that part-time employment increased by 15.2K in March, down from a 24.5K gain recorded in February 2026.

The slowdown suggests that while employers continued to add part-time positions, the momentum seen earlier in the year has weakened. Markets and policymakers may interpret the softer March reading as a sign of cooling demand for flexible labour, following a robust start to 2026. The updated figures, released on 10 April 2026, will feed into broader assessments of Canada’s labour market resilience and the trajectory of economic activity into the second quarter.
