BMO资本市场首席经济学家Douglas Porter在一份报告中表示：“连续第二个月出现大规模失业，抹去了加拿大劳动力市场在初夏时表现出的意外强劲，使得当前就业水平仅比一年前微升0.5%。”
"A second consecutive month of sizable job losses washes away the surprising strength reported in Canada's job market through the early summer, and leaves employment up a so-so 0.5% from a year ago," Douglas Porter, chief economist at BMO Capital Markets, said in a note.
Porter说：“我们仍然认为，加拿大央行应采取观望态度，尤其是在就业数据突然出现不确定性的情况下。”
"We continue to believe that the appropriate stance by the Bank of Canada is watchful waiting, particularly so with employment suddenly clouding over," Porter said.
