  1. Re: Employment takes off – except in Toronto
    The truth far worse than Carol Goar reported for the city proper. If the city is singled out, the ugly truth is plain to see.

    Toronto unemployment three month average (seasonally adjusted) went from 10.2% to 10.6% in the last twelve months. The Toronto CMA (including Toronto) the rate went from 9.7% to 9.5%
    Keep in mind that the CMA had declining unemployment despite having Toronto’s increasing unemployment included in the figures.

    Hey Toronto, how is having the lowest residential property tax and the highest commercial property tax suiting you?
