Windsor's unemployment rate fell a tenth of a percentage point last month but remained the highest in Canada.
The city's jobless rate was 8.7 per cent.
While employment in the city increased by 2,700 positions, the labour force also increased by another 2,800 people, and Windsor's population added another 1,100 residents.
The jobless rate in Ontario rose 0.8 percentage points to 7.6 per cent last month. Excluding 2020 and 2021, unemployment hit its highest level since May 2014 as more people joined the search for a job.
The national jobless rate also increased by 0.3 percentage points in November to 6.8 per cent. Again, excluding the years of the COVID-19 pandemic, it hit levels of unemployment not seen since January 2017.
The national economy created 51,000 net jobs, an increase of 0.2 percentage points, but more people were looking for work.
The number of Canadians either looking for work or on temporary layoff rose by 87,000 in November, to 1.5 million. Those without a job for 27 weeks or more increased 21.7 per cent between October and November, or 5.9 per cent year over year.
Statistics Canada's Labour Force Survey said the Labour Force Participation Rate grew 0.3 percentage points in November to 65.1 per cent, offsetting declines in September and October.
While employment grew in wholesale and retail trade, construction, professional, scientific and technology services, education, and accommodation and food services, it fell in manufacturing, transportation and warehousing, and natural resources.
The total number of hours worked didn't change much between November and October, but the average hourly wage grew. That jumped 4.1 per cent in November after October's 4.9 per cent increase, or by another $1.40 to $35.68 an hour.
The Labour Force Survey for November was taken between November 10 and November 16.
Statistics Canada expects to release its report for December on January 10, 2025.
