B.C. unemployment rate the best in the country- by far
OTTAWA — More good news for the B.C. economy.
The B.C. unemployment rate is by far the best in Canada, almost a full percentage point ahead of the next best.
Statistics Canada said today, the B.C. rate is unchanged at 4.7 percent. The next best was Ontario, at 5.5 percent.
Across the country, the economy delivered 32,300 net new jobs last month as Canada generated a rush of full-time work that helped hold the national unemployment rate at a record low.
