## Resource

Ontario’s job market hit a snag in June, shedding 17,000 positions and pushing unemployment to 7%—above the national average. But spring was strong: over 84,000 jobs were added in April and May. Critics say the government’s lagging on job creation, while the government counters with external pressures and points to business investments aimed at building economic resilience. A recent report warns Ontario’s workforce is shrinking at its fastest pace since 1976—sparking fierce debate over the province’s economic future.
