New data indicates a significant increase in job cuts and a decline in hiring plans for January, suggesting a challenging start to the year for the U.S. job market.
January’s job gains surged past expectations and marked a strong start to the year following a weak year of job growth.
The January jobs report will now be published on Wednesday, Feb. 11. The January consumer-price index will now appear on Friday, Feb. 13.
Canada’s job market began the year on a soft note, with fewer people looking for work and employment falling for the first time in five months.
