Instead, he said, strong job numbers in the past year helped push it to 11.2 per cent.8 j0 I, |% C1 `( x0 ?2 `2 _$ A% Z

"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."0 F! g: ?8 s, ? p- W& w4 z% A l
