Summary
Kelowna’s unemployment remains the highest among Canada’s major cities, despite recent job gains—driven by surging job seekers drawn to the city’s appeal, coupled with reduced construction, college cuts, and small business strain pushing more into part-time roles. While B.C. saw a slight overall drop, Kelowna still leads in joblessness, with Chilliwack and Abbotsford-Mission rising and Vancouver and Nanaimo seeing minor improvements. On a brighter note, youth employment surged by 33,000 jobs nationwide, with students planning to return to school seeing a sharp drop in unemployment—most new roles full-time—and the province points to this resilience, plus upcoming events and investments, as keys to future growth.
