An Analysis of the Greater Toronto Region Labour Market - Fourth Quarter 2007
Greater Toronto Region (GTR) employment rose by 18,300 in the fourth quarter of 2007. Part-time employment gains of 76,100 were offset by full-time employment losses of 57,800. Employment rose in the services-producing sector and declined in the goods-producing sector. Labour force participation dropped as is typical for the fall and winter months. In the fourth quarter, fewer people participated in the labour force and unemployment fell by 47,700 compared to the third quarter. The GTR unemployment rate dropped to 6.1% during this period, from 7.5% in the previous quarter.
Since this time last year, employment in the GTR increased by 79,000. Over the same period, the population aged 15 and over has increased by about 90,000. Employment has grown in each of the past five quarters, and more than three million people are now employed in the region. Over the past year there was strong job creation in the services-producing sector, which accounts for almost 80% of total employment. This was countered by continuing job losses in the goods-producing sector.
