The unemployment rate for the Toronto area jumped to 9.6 per cent in June, up from 9.1 per cent in May, according to figures released today by Statistics Canada.

The increase puts the city far above the national jobless rate, which edged up 0.2 per cent to 8.6 per cent last month.

Economists generally caution against reading too much into month-to-month changes in the jobless numbers because they can fluctuate sharply.

Still, the jump in the rate for the Toronto area is a cause for concern, said Doug Porter, BMO Capital Markets deputy chief economist.

"We've seen a greater deterioration in Toronto's unemployment rate than we have nationally since Canada lurched into recession last fall. Up until recently, Toronto was in line with the national average."

The city's construction sector, in particular, has been hit hard, with employment down about 24 per cent from last year. That's worse than the decline in the beleaguered manufacturing sector.

"That's extremely weak," Porter said of the construction sector. "It's a deeper decline than we saw in the 1990s recession. That clearly is weighing very heavily on the local job market."

Tourism has also fallen off, with fewer visits from the U.S. because of the recession and new passport requirements, Porter added.

Statscan measures unemployment for what it calls the Toronto CMA, or census metropolitan area, which extends from Milton in the west to Ajax on the east side, and north to Georgina.

Toronto's annual unemployment rate for 1997 was 9.1 per cent.

Ontario lost 56,000 jobs in June, but that was offset by the addition of 57,000 part-time jobs, according to the Statistics Canada report.

The province's unemployment rate now stands at 9.6 per cent, the highest rate in 15 years.

Since last October, employment in the province has fallen by 232,000, with over half the losses in manufacturing.
