德斯贾丁斯表示,加拿大劳动力市场3月份显示出“一些企稳迹象”,但仍存在一些问题。

-- 德斯贾丁斯银行的罗伊斯·门德斯在周五发布的劳动力调查(LFS)显示加拿大3月份新增1.4万个就业岗位后表示,在经历了年初的一系列失业潮后,加拿大劳动力市场在3月份出现了一些企稳迹象。该调查显示,加拿大经济在3月份新增了1.4万个就业岗位,失业率维持在6.7%不变。 但他补充说,所有新增岗位均为兼职,全职岗位在2月份经历了10.8万个岗位的“毁灭性”下降后,目前处于“稳定”状态。 门德斯还指出,虽然3月份平均时薪同比增速加快,但这主要是由于结构性因素的影响。加拿大统计局表示,在保持结构不变的情况下,平均时薪仅增长了3.6%,这意味着工资“实际上并没有升温”。 加拿大央行对第一季度国内生产总值(GDP)的预测仍维持在1.5%至2.0%左右,与加拿大央行1月份的预测大致一致。 门德斯补充道,总体而言,周五的劳动力市场调查(LFS)没有任何迹象表明经济正在复苏。尽管德斯贾丁斯上调了油价预期,但鉴于经济持续疲软,他仍然认为各国央行将在今年剩余时间内保持观望态度。
