Canada posted another surprisingly strong month of job gains in a labor market that is on track for one of its best years on record.
The economy added 53,700 jobs last month, Statistics Canada said Friday in Ottawa, following a gain of 81,100 in August. Canada has now added 358,100 since December, the most in the first nine months of a year since 2002.
