Manitoba's unemployment rate dropped a tenth of a percentage point in January to 6.1 per cent, thanks to the addition of 2,000 jobs to the economy.
That falls in line with national numbers, which were also down one-tenth from December to 6.6 per cent.
Provincial Finance Minister Adrian Sala says the province also continues to see average weekly earnings go up.
Average weekly earnings went up 4.8 per cent on a year-over-year basis, well above the national average of 3.5 per cent
