Full-Time Jobs: Statistics Canada

Statistics Canada: Statistics Canada said on Friday that British Columbia's jobless rate dropped six-tenths of a point in April to 6.4 per cent, while the province also gained 9,500 full-time jobs, according to Times Colonist. Both the Liberals and the New Democrats scrambled to work the numbers to their advantage, as they head towards the end of the election campaign and VANCOUVER - The B.C. Liberals have been banking on a jobs and economic growth platform to lead them to victory, but with four days left until voting day, the latest jobs statistics appear to fuel the NDP's claims that Christy Clark's jobs plan has not been as successful as she claims. Statistics Canada also said B.C. experienced the second highest jobs growth in Canada last month. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
