Statistics Canada reports a rough month for Canadian jobs as 1 million jobs were lost in the wake of COVID-19.
This pushes the jobless rate in the country up to 7.8 per cent.
Stephen Chychota says the job loss is pretty devastating.
"It's unbelievable, the impact that this has all had in such a short amount of time and it's kind of devastating. It's not a good thing that you want to hear, that a lot of people are out of jobs and the economy is changing the way it is. But, on the other hand, the reasons why people are losing jobs are for the benefit of the health and safety of everyone in Canada."
The 1 million jobs lost is double what experts had been expecting.
Even if Canada lost the 500 thousand jobs expected, it would have been the worst month for job losses ever recorded.
