Alberta Jobs, Economy, Trade, and Immigration putting out its monthly September figures.
The labour force survey showed that just under 2.7 million people were employed in Alberta last month, an increase of 75,700 from September of 2025.
The review also found an increase in the number of workers by 23,100 when comparing last month to the month before.
Those figures, however, buck the national trend where the number of jobs actually fell by 68,000, or .3 percent August to September.
