Both area employment and unemployment were up in June, compared to the same month in 2015.

Employment was at 58.4 last month, an increase of 2.5 per cent .

Unemployment was at 7.5 percent last month.

That’s an increase of 1.7 per cent from the same month in 2015, but it’s just barely within the standard error (1.8) so it’s deemed not statistically significant.

The figures include North Bay, Bonfield, Callander and East Ferris.
