Both stories are continuing, and the labor data is the sharper one: Canada's labour market lost 68,000 jobs in September and the US unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, so hiring demand looks softer on both sides of the border. Meanwhile the AI sourcing conversation has settled on admin relief and faster sourcing more than replacing recruiters.

The other: The academic research on generative AI and labour demand says the evidence so far is mixed, so policymakers can't yet say whether it is reshaping demand.
