In August, 671,200 unemployed workers received jobless benefits in the month, "virtually" the same as July, the agency said.
The number of beneficiaries has dropped by 158,100 from its June 2009 peak, about half way back to pre-recession levels. But the number of recipients has been gaining by an average of 5,700 per month since March, Statistics Canada said.

It's too bad they didn't include some additional raw numbers here instead of this one teaser. Can't conclude much from this.
