After a brief "good news story" we're back to reality.
The February 2009 Labour Force Survey is out and it's, again, not pretty. January was awful and the February numbers show an increase in the unemployment rate rises to 7.7% on 82,000 job loses. The Globe also has an article.
The largest decline in employment occurred in Ontario (-35,000), followed by Alberta (-24,000) and Quebec (-18,000).
What else can you say?
