Bad days.

Take Statscan city level unemployment numbers with a grain of salt. They use very small sample sizes and the numbers fluctuate pretty widely between survey periods. I don't think anyone really believes Calgary unemployment jumped by that much in the same timeframe that Edmonton went down.

Provincial numbers are a better barometer for the state of the province.
