A Dip In Windsor's Jobless Rate

Statistics Canada says the unemployment rate in Windsor dipped to 9.7% in December from 10% the month before.

That's still the highest in Canada.

London's jobless rate also fell more than half a percent to 6.2% from 6.8% in November.

Nationally, the rate remained steady at 7.1% as the economy added 22,800 jobs last month. Much of the gain was in Ontario. The province added 34,900 net positions pushing the rate down to 6.7% from 6.9%.

Year-end data suggest the national employment rate rose 0.9% in 2015 as the labour force bulked up 158,000 jobs.
