Statistics Canada will re-publish its flagship labor market report in two days after finding an error in the most recent edition, a move economists said may hurt its reputation.
The agency said yesterday it will re-release July’s employment data on Aug. 15 at 8:30 a.m. in Ottawa. The original report published Aug. 8 said Canada added 200 jobs during the month, compared with a consensus forecast of 20,000, and that 35,400 people left the labor force.
