The first quarter of 2008 saw a slight increase in the labour force for the Greater Toronto Region (GTR) with the addition of more than 10,000 people. While part-time employment increased by 12,100 positions, this could not offset the loss of 14,800 full-time jobs. The number of unemployed rose by almost 13,000 increasing the unemployment rate to 6.5% this quarter compared to 6.1% in the last quarter of 2007.Compared to the same time last year the labour market appears stronger. There were 3,044,500 people employed in this quarter, an increase of 68,800 from the same period last year, with noteworthy growth in both full and part-time employment. The most significant improvement in employment over the past year has been found in the services-producing sector, with the largest increase in public administration. Professional, scientific and technical services and health care and social services also contributed to this sector’s growth. However, due to difficulties experienced by manufacturing, the goods-producing sector continues to lose ground. Since this time last year the GTR has lost about 10,000 manufacturing jobs.
