  • Stronger consumer perceptions of job security have played a role here, with the share seeing their job as “secure” rising from 48.0% to 51.0% for the highest/first time above 50 since Feb/Mar 2024.
  • Our calculation of net job security similarly increased from 48.7 to 51.4, which for recent context bottomed out at ~40% in April and increased to ~44% before the BoC started it rate cutting cycle in June (3 x 25bps in currently and with more indicated to come).
