Manitoba jobless rate rises amid growing labor force
Manitoba’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate reached 8.3 percent in March 1981, while employment rose to 451 000, up 4 000 from February and 8 000 year over year. The labor force totaled 486 000, up 8 000 from February and 11 000 from March 1980, as early spring weather spurred more seeking work. The minister cited a larger labor pool rather than fewer opportunities and urged business leaders to anticipate stronger job growth.
