In plain English
The monthly change in the number of people employed, a headline jobs figure in countries like Canada and Australia.
Employment change is the number of jobs gained or lost in a month. Canada's Labour Force Survey and Australia's labour force report both lead with it, and both can move their currencies sharply.
Look at the detail too: full-time versus part-time jobs, and the unemployment rate, can tell a different story from the headline.
