The second wave of lockdowns in Quebec only affected a few economic sectors, and the employment rate dipped slightly, according to the latest report by the Institut du Québec (IDQ).

The IDQ report released on Nov. 10, said the employment rate in October has almost resurged to the pre-COVID period conditions, reaching 97 percent of February 2020 levels.
