BC Jobs Minister Michelle Mungall says there have been positive employment gains for four months in a row after the pandemic shut down the economy.

BC's jobless rate last month was 10.7 per cent, slightly higher than the national average of 10.2 per cent.

The BC rate for August has improved from the July unemployment rate of 11.1 per cent.

Mungall says BC has now recovered almost 247,000 jobs and total employment now stands at 94 per cent of the pre-pandemic level in February.
