The Canadian jobs machine kept powering ahead in June, as the economy created 93,000 new positions and unexpectedly pushed the unemployment rate below 8 per cent for the first time since January of 2009.

Total nonfarm payroll employment declined by 125,000 in June, and the unemployment rate edged down to 9.5 percent.
