43,000 Jobs Lost in October

Canada's unemployment rises not shrinks

Economists are a little red-faced after predicting the Canadian economy was going to create 10-thousand jobs last month.


Instead, more than 43-thousand positions were eliminated, pushing the national jobless rate to 8.6 per cent, up from 8.4 per cent in September.

The biggest job losses were in the west with Alberta leading the way with the ranks of the unemployed growing by 15-thousand.

Provincially, 7.5 per cent are now without work. That's up from 7.1 per cent.

Calgary's jobless rate unchanged at 6.9 per cent.

Patricia Croft with Phillips, Hager and North tells 660News the figures are very disappointing especially for young people, who appear to be giving up looking for work, opting instead to go back to school.

Croft expects the national jobless rate will hit 9 per cent before it starts to retreat.

Newfoundland has the highest unemployment rate at 17 per cent.
Saskatchewan the lowest at 5.3 per cent.

In this recession most people can predict better than most of economists on a regular basis, is that funny?

Nowadays people can get more information by internet instead of easily cheated by the governments or experts so we could make our judgments without the influence of those liers.

你自己说的，你又在问，奇怪。

周五公布的数据显示，10月份平均小时工资增加0.05美元，至18.72美元，增幅0.3%。10月份平均每周工作时间也持平于33.0小时。

美国人的年平均工资18*33*52=32123 元。
看来，美国人一般工资也不高。
