Economists forecast that Canada added 10,000 jobs in July and that the unemployment rate held at 6.5%.

Last month, Canada added more jobs than expected, although most were in part-time positions.

37,100 of the jobs added in June were in part-time roles, while 8,100 were full-time. Employment rose among women aged 55 and up, and ticked up for core-aged women, but was little changed for other demographic groups.

The Canadian dollar is little changed at 1.2569 against the US dollar as of 8:17 a.m. ET.
