Statistics Canada says employment in Alberta rose by 13,000 (+0.5%) in October, the second increase in three months.
The Labour Force Survey also noted the proportion of people living in households facing financial difficulties in Alberta (31.3 per cent) was above the Canadian average.
Edmonton recorded the second-highest jobless rate of the 36 cities surveyed nationally, sitting at 8.6 percent, a significant drop from nine per cent the month prior. Only Windsor, Ont. has a higher jobless rate, sitting at 8.8 per cent.
Calgary’s unemployment rate climbed to 7.7 per cent in October from 7.4 per cent in September.
Lethbridge’s jobless rate remained largely unchanged, sitting at 5.2 per cent in October compared to 5.1 the month before.
Nationally, Canada’s unemployment rate was 6.5 per cent in October.
