      Vincent: Canada’s labour market: between cycles and structural change
      Submitted May 26, 2026      |From bankofcanada.ca

      Good morning, everyone. I am very pleased to be here with you in Montréal. I see a lot of familiar faces in the room—colleagues, and former students. Thank you all for being here. It warms my heart. Today, I’m going to talk about the Canadian labour market—what we’re seeing, what certain trends may indicate, and what it all means for monetary policy. And with so many subject-matter experts here, I’m sure we will have a very productive discussion afterwards. The labour market is at the heart of our economies. It’s the main source of income for households, and it’s central to their financial decisions. It also has a considerable influence on business decisions and public finances. As you know, the Canadian economy has seen a lot of upheaval in recent years: the COVID‑19 pandemic, a sharp rise in inflation, then a significant rise in interest rates to bring inflation back to our 2% target. A range of geopolitical, technological and demographic forces have also been at work. These include shifts in immigration policies, US tariffs, the reshaping of global trade, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. These forces could have both short‑ and long‑term consequences for the economy. For the Bank of Canada, distinguishing between short‑term, or cyclical, fluctuations and transformations that are more permanent, or structural, is essential. That’s because the difference affects how we conduct monetary policy. The tools at our disposal help us to respond to short‑term economic swings and keep inflation at the 2% target. But their effectiveness is more limited when it comes to dealing with deeper structural change. This is where our analysis of the labour market is especially important: it helps us distinguish between fluctuations and transformations, and better understand where inflation may be headed. BOC SAYS ECONOMIC POLICY IS LESS CLEAR WHEN DEALING WITH STRUCTURAL SHOCKS. BOC REPORTS LONG-TERM UNEMPLOYMENT AT HIGHEST LEVEL SINCE EARLY 2000S, EXCLUDING COVID FACTORS.
