The number of regular employment insurance beneficiaries in Canada fell for the third consecutive month in December, suggesting further stabilization of the jobs market.
The ranks of those receiving unemployment benefits was down 40,100 in December to 744,000, Statistics Canada said Friday.
There were fewer beneficiaries in all provinces in December, with the most notable decreases observed in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta. The number of people receiving regular EI benefits fell by 85,300 since the highpoint of 829,300 reached last June, the agency noted.
Despite the decline in recent months, the number of beneficiaries remains 243,700 above its October 2008 level when employment was at a peak.
