Statistics Canada says the economy added 31,000 jobs in October.
The unemployment rate was 6.7%, down from 6.9% in September, to mark the fifth consecutive monthly decline.
Gains were seen across a number of industries, including the hard-hit retail sector, but offset by declines elsewhere, such as accommodation and food services.
The province also saw the jobless numbers improve month-to-month going from 7.3% in September to 7% last month.
Locally, we saw better numbers as well from 8.9% to 8.4% in October
