StatCan data reveals biggest gains were felt in province’s health-care and technology sectors
The March labour market proved to be the perfect elixir for February.
The province added 5,700 jobs in March after losing 4,800 jobs a month prior, according to data released Friday from Statistics Canada.
The unemployment rate, however, increased from six per cent to 6.1 per cent during that same period.
Notable gains were seen in health care and technology, with both sectors gaining 6,600 jobs.
The most notable losses hit wholesale/retail trade (-8,900 jobs), other services (-7,700 jobs) and natural resources (-4,100 jobs).
