Jobless rate rises to 7.5% in December

[Baloo]

Canada's economy began creating jobs again in December after two consecutive months of declines, but it was not enough to keep the unemployment rate from edging up a notch to 7.5 per cent.

Statistics Canada said the unemployment rate rose a tenth of a point despite the jobs increase because more Canadians entered the labour force.
