As much as we all want to hope for economic recovery in Ontario, joblessness in the province and across Canada is only getting worse, especially in major hubs like Toronto. In July, Ontario saw another worrying uptick in its unemployment rate, which rose 0.1 per cent month-over-month and 1.2 per cent year-over-year to a painful 7.9 per cent, according to a new Labour Force Survey from StatCan. This makes us the fourth-worst province or territory for job seekers after Newfoundland & Labrador (10.5 per cent), Nunavut (9.9 per cent), and P.E.I.
