December Employment Statistics Released

Posted on January 11, 2010 by Heenan Blaikie
According to Statistics Canada, 2,600 jobs were lost in December.  Moderate increases in employment in the health care and social assistance and the professional, scientific and technical services categories were offset by declines in employment in the transportation and warehousing; business, building and other support services; and public administration categories.  Despite these job losses, the employment rate appears to have stabilized in recent months even though it remains nearly 2% below pre-recession levels.
