That was the first significant increase in this sector in more than a year.“Alberta continues to be the runaway growth leader and that’s not expected to change at all” down the road, Porter noted.“But Ontario’s unemployment rate is drifting further and further above the national average,” he said.Although the credit crunch has recently spooked financial markets, economists said the latest employment report could still convince the central bank to raise its key interest rate when it meets next month.“This is a pretty solid report for Canada,” Steve Butler, director of foreign exchange trading in Toronto at Scotia Capital Inc., told Bloomberg News. Canada’s dollar traded at 94.74 U.S. cents by mid-day, up from 94.52 U.S. cents yesterday. Canadian bonds also rose following a global trend in which investors moved away from riskier assets.The currency has weakened about 1.3 per cent since July 25, when it reached a 30-year high, as U.S. subprime mortgage losses deepened and threatened global growth. The crisis has led traders to unwind so-called carry trades in which they borrow in Japan to buy assets in economies such as Canada, where rates are believed to be headed higher.
