Shore economy grows FIGURES RELEASED recently from the North Shorz’s Canada Employment Centre (CEC) in- dicate that 1988 was a good year for the local economy. Andrew Lane, manager of the North Shore Canada Employment Centre said,‘‘The North Shore economy in 1988 continued to show improvement in comparison to the previous year.”’ According to Lane, the North Shore economy grew in such businesses as hospitality, tourism, construction, retail and business service. The growth and development on the North Shore has led to an in- crease in local employment oppor- tunities. Last year, for example, the average unemployment rate was ‘Booze who’ on the WN.

The lower unemployment rate has resulted in a decrease in the amount of unemployment in- surance benefits paid. In 1987 total for the year was $72,402,739 paid out to recipients on the North Shore, the Sunshine Coast and Whistler compared with $70,649,218 in 1988, a reduction in payouts of $1,753,521. Approximately two-thirds of the payout total went to unemploy- ment insurance recipients on the North Shore. But, while payout totals have decreased, the number of people filing claims has increased, which can in part be attributed to the North Shore's population growth over the past year. In 1988 the number of claims totalled 19,160, up from 19,002 in 1987. Conversely, unemployment in- surance ciaimants collected fewer benefits for a shorter period. of time. In 1988, the average claimant collected benefits for 21.5 weeks and an average of $220.81 per week while in !987 the average claim ran 23.5 weeks with an average payment of $211.27 per - stability,”” week. The figures indicate that people are finding jobs more quickly than in the past. And economic prosperity on the North Shore is reflected in the number of jobs iisted with CEC. In 1988, 2,939 jobs were listed with CEC. In addition, 1,264 students found work through the Canada Employment Centre for Students during the summer months. CEC, in partnership with local employers, has trained and upgraded 127 employees under the Canadian Job Strategy programs to meet the growing job market needs for a skilled labor force. ‘‘The federal government recognizes that local community- based economic developments are the route to economic growth and Lane stated, ‘‘and I am pleased to see the CEC was able to work with our local economic partners in this process. Our staff is looking forward to assisting the North Shore community to reach its economic goals in the new fiscal year 1989/90. We welcome sugges- tions from the community on how we can tailor our programs and services to meet the needs of the community.”’ | WEEKEND ACCELERATED GROU ice includes pat installaton as Ii ABBOTSFORD “am SCOTT BOAD aD “ian omen mare Pacific Associate Stores (td.
