Newfoundland and Labrador jumped back into double digit unemployment last month after being under 10 per cent in September. The rate for October climbed to 10.3 per cent, about double the national average.
Unemployment in the St. John’s area was 5.9, which is on par with Halifax, Moncton and Saint John.
Employment rose across a broad range of sectors, led by manufacturing, construction and accommodation and food services.
