15,000 Alberta men lost their jobs in July 2026. And most of them were full-time jobs.
But at least there were 12,000 new part-time jobs for men.
Alberta was the only province to see median hourly wages for part-time workers decline since May 2025.
Someone recently told me that profit creates jobs. This is a myth.
Our unemployment rate also increased.
The median hourly wage for full-time wages in Alberta is now in third place, behind BC and Ontario. In January, we were ahead of everyone.
It was over 25,000 if you count just the men.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone though. It’s been like this for at least a decade.
We also went from having the fourth highest unemployment to the sixth highest.
