Unemployment rises again throughout region
The unemployment rates for both
the province and the Stratford-Bruce
Peninsula economic region
increased in the month of August.
While the province saw a marginal
increase from 6.8 per cent to 7.1 per
cent, the local economic region saw
a significantly higher increase from
5.4 per cent to 6.1 per cent.
Employment in the region, full-
time and part-time, lost ground with
losses of 3,700 in full-time work and
1,600 in part-time. At the provincial
level, full-time employment rose
slightly, while part-time experienced
similar losses to the local region.
The Stratford-Bruce Peninsula
economic region recorded similar
job losses to the province, but on a
much smaller scale last month.
While the province saw a loss of
6,900 jobs in trade and 23,300 losses
in educational services, the local
region saw losses of 3,500 jobs in
trades and 1,400 in educational
services. Employment growth
provincially was driven with the
addition of 13,600 jobs and 6,900
additional jobs in professional,
scientific and technical services.
Gains in the local region were found
in manufacturing with the addition
of 2,000 jobs, while business,
building and other support services
saw an increase of 300 new jobs.
While the province has seen
significant job losses in education, a
loss of 59,000 jobs since June, the
local economic region has still seen
a bigger percentage of job loss of
26.6 per cent as compared to the
province with a loss of 11 per
cent (2,800) during the same time
period.
