The unemployment rate in the Stratford-to-Bruce-Peninsula economic region was at 3 percent for the month of October.

That is a drop of 0.6 percent from the previous month.

It is also the lowest unemployment in the any of the economic regions in Ontario.

Most of the job gains were in construction while accommodation and food services saw the biggest losses.
