"We saw continued strength in employment growth this month,"
said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and co-head of the ADP Research
Institute. "There were significant increases in many
industries. However, professional services added the most
jobs in February, after experiencing losses for the past four
months. This growth was primarily driven by administrative
support positions which buoyed the overall decrease in management
roles."
The January total of jobs added was revised down from 35,400 to
32,900.
The March 2019 ADP Canada
National Employment Report will be released at 8:30a.m.ET on April 18,
