It exactly the trend London's mayor has been hoping for.
According to StatsCanada, the local economy created about 46-hundred jobs in December.
That lead to a drop in the local unemployment rate to an even 9 percent....from November's 9.9 percent.
Mayor Anne Marie DeCicco-Best tells Newstalk 1290, jobless figures show things are getting better.
But nationally, it's a different story.
Statistics Canada reports job creation stalled last month.
Overall, 26-hundred fewer Canadians were employed in December.
Analysts had been hoping to see the addition of 20-thousand jobs.
December unemployment was unchanged from November at 8.5 percent.
