The evidence knew job numbers that were released today. It shows a sharp drop off in employment and trade-sensitive sectors that caused the jobless rate to take up to 6.9 percent. Peter Armstrong reports. Canadian employers added 7,400 jobs last month, but there are a whole series of caveats that go along with that report. Public sector jobs were up nearly 23,000 while private sector employment fell 26,000. And many of those public sector jobs were one-time gigs working through the federal election.

The job losses were concentrated in manufacturing and regions dependent on manufacturing. Economists like Brendan Bernard from the job search site Indeed say it doesn't take much to figure out why those jobs are being lost. Well, we've been waiting all year for signs of a direct hit from the trade war on the economy in general and the job market specifically. And I think that these April numbers were that first real sign. Bernard says other trade sensitive sectors showed substantial declines as well and the concern is that though the tariffs began in April the uncertainty has only grown since then.

Unlike in the previous government, there are now liberal MPs elected in every province. Carney campaigned on being best suited to handle the US administration. And this week he took three cabinet ministers to the White House with him, signaling early confidence in Dominique LeBlanc, Melanie Jolie, and David McGinty staying in cabinet. But we can expect some new faces too, as Carney seeks to differentiate himself from his predecessor. Kate McKenna, CBC News, Ottawa.
