Although Windsor\u2019s unemployment rate fell by almost a full percentage point last month, it\u2019s still Canada\u2019s highest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The rate for September was 10.4 per cent, down from 11.1 per cent in August.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That number is still 2.3 percentage points higher than September 2024, according to Workforce Windsor-Essex, and the region’s population declined slightly for the third month in a row.<\/p>\n

According to Workforce Windsor-Essex, the area added almost 4,000 jobs, and the employment rate increased by about one percentage point to 57 per cent.<\/p>\n

Workforce-Windsor-Essex also says there were about 3,500 active job postings for the region, an increase of nine per cent over August. <\/p>\n

Brantford, Ont., is now in second place, with an unemployment rate of 9.7 per cent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s overall unemployment rate is 7.1 per cent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The economy added 60,000 jobs in September, with nearly half of those in manufacturing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It marks the industry\u2019s first increase in employment<\/a> since January and since the U.S. trade war forced it to contend with job losses. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Although Windsor\u2019s unemployment rate fell by almost a full percentage point last month, it\u2019s still Canada\u2019s highest.\u00a0 The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":66970,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[114,184,85,46],"class_list":["post-66969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-business","tag-economy","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66969"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66969\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
