Plenty of smiles at the Economic Development Office in Chatham-Kent with the new jobless numbers out.
According to the stats, the unemployment rate has dropped to 5.6%.
A big change from 2010 when the rate had skyrocketed to 12.1 %.
Geoff Wright, the Economic Development Officer for the municipality says “It’s not just about the job numbers, it’s also the fact that there are career opportunities for people in our community.”
He adds “Industry leading companies are calling to let me know that while they need general labourers there is also a demand for trained professionals in fields such as engineering, human resources, accounting, machinists, health care, and more.”
