Premier John Horgan says the latest unemployment data shows his NDP government is focused on measures to help BC overcome the COVID-19 pandemic.
Horgan says October's employment numbers show BC led the country by creating more than 33,000 jobs.
At eight per cent, he says the province's unemployment rate is well below the national average of 8.9 per cent.
Horgan says employment in BC now stands at 97.6 per cent of pre-pandemic levels in February.
