New data from Statistics Canada shows Manitoba added 3900 jobs over the month of September and was one of only three Canadian provinces to do so, Business, Mining, Trade and Job Creation Minister Jamie Moses announced.
“These results show that despite an uncertain trade environment, Manitobans are optimistic about job opportunities and are re-entering the workforce with confidence,” said Moses. “Our government will continue supporting skills development and investment to ensure this momentum translates into long-term growth.”
According to a release from the provincial government, full-time employment increased by 11,100 jobs from August to September. The province also said the average hourly wage went up by 4.1 per cent, and both the public and private sectors posted gains.
