Canada's economy added a modest 14,000 jobs in March, following major job losses during the first two months of the year, with the unemployment rate unchanged at 6.7 percent.

Canada's unemployment rate dropped to 6.5 per cent and the economy gained 54,000 jobs in November, Statistics Canada said on Friday. The jobless rate ticked down several points from October's 6.9 per cent after trending upwards for most of the year, even hitting 7.1 per cent in September. Most of the jobs added to the economy in November were part time and largely driven by employment gains among young people between the ages of 15 to 24.
