Instead, he said, strong job numbers in the past year helped push it to 11.2 per cent.) N) u8 l3 Y8 P% L. h+ y! r

"What we have here is a very good news story," Rose said. "It suggests the City of Edmonton is no longer just a place you go to for a job, work that job for a few years and then you go on to something else when the boom is over."
