Canada Unemployment Rate-Monthly
The unemployment rate is the number unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor force (the sum of employed and unemployed persons).

Unemployment (or joblessness) occurs when people are without work and actively seeking work. The unemployment rate is a measure of the prevalence of unemployment and it is calculated as a percentage by dividing the number of unemployed individuals by all individuals currently in the labor force. During periods of recession, an economy usually experiences a relatively high unemployment rate.
