How do you define full employment then? Economists say roughly 5%, as you need a little flex since you can't perfectly match everyone with a job. The link from Stats Canada also included the participation rate, which is 65.3%. This is fairly typical and doesn't suggest the unemployment rate is boosted by people leaving the workforce.
