Unemployment remained static at 4.7 per cent in B.C., the lowest in the country.

Metro Edmonton lost 5,400 jobs in July, part of an overall Alberta loss of 14,000. Most of the losses were part time.

Over the next few months, Rose expects Edmonton should see unemployment stay the same, as any job gains will attract more people to the labour force and keep that number even.

Lowe's Canada is set to open their first store in Manitoba Thursday.

Is the push to hike the minimum wage a smart idea? It depends on what the role of such jobs are, writes Scott Thompson.

Canada added 15,300 jobs in February.

Canada's economy lost 6,400 jobs in June, not enough to change the unemployment rate from 6.8 per cent. It was better than the estimated.

Statistics Canada says it made an error in formulating its July jobs numbers and will restate the monthly tally later this week.
