Canada's official monthly unemployment figures do not include seasonal unemployment. Seasonal unemployment occurs due to predictable seasonal changes in demand for labour associated with certain industries. For example, construction work may decrease during the winter months, leading to temporary unemployment for those workers. As this type of unemployment is expected and predictable, it is not considered in the monthly unemployment figures.
