OTTAWA - Canada's unemployment rate rose in November for the first time in almost a year, to 5.9 per cent, despite the creation of 43,000 more jobs that suggest Canada's economic boom still has legs.

Statistics Canada said Friday the slight increase in the jobless rate from 5.8 per cent in October was due mostly to more Canadians entering the labour force. The last time the jobless rate rose was in January, when it went to 6.2 per cent from 6.1 per cent in December 2006.

But as has been the case for most of the year, Friday's labour force survey from the agency will be seen as mostly good news for the Canadian economy, suggesting that a downturn in the U.S. hasn't hit the Canadian jobs market.

The economy has created 388,000 jobs this year, a 2.3 per cent increase, pushing the country's employment rate to 63.8 per cent of the labour force.

The employment rate is not only a record for Canada, but the agency said Canada had a higher employment rate than that of the United States and most European countries in the second quarter.

Reversing recent trends, most of the new jobs went to men and came in the private sector, with transportation and warehousing, building, business and other support services leading the way.

However, job creation over the past year has gone to women and older workers, and in the public sector, where employment leaped by 6.3 per cent, as opposed to only 0.9 per cent in the private sector.

As has been the case for several years, manufacturing continued as the weak link in the employment growth chain and November saw 16,000 more jobs lost. That brings total job losses in the sector to 98,000 this year, with most coming in Ontario and Quebec.

But the overall tight labour market continued to push the price of labour up as hourly wages were 4.2 per cent higher in November on a year-to-year basis.

Regionally, British Columbia led job production by adding 26,000 jobs, almost half in construction.

And despite declines in its manufacturing sector, Quebec saw 19,000 new net jobs created in the province, although most were part-time and in the services sector.

Employment in Ontario was mostly unchanged, while Alberta, regarded the engine of Canada's recent economic growth, also saw flat job creation, leaving total job growth for the year at 3.2 per cent. While healthy, that is well below the 5.8 per cent growth recorded during the same period in 2006.

A quick look at November employment (previous month in brackets):

Unemployment rate: 5.9 per cent (5.8)

Number unemployed: 1,068,200 (1,043,100)

Number working: 17,028,600 (16,986,000)

Youth (15-24 years) unemployment: 11.5 per cent (11.1)

Men (25 plus) unemployment: 5.1 per cent (5.2)

Women (25 plus) unemployment: 4.5 per cent (4.3)

Here's what happened provincially (previous month in brackets):

-Newfoundland 13.2 (13.5)

-Prince Edward Island 11.2 (8.8)

-Nova Scotia 8.0 (7.6)

-New Brunswick 7.2 (7.6)

-Quebec 7.0 (6.9)

-Ontario 6.2 (6.0)

-Manitoba 4.2 (4.0)

-Saskatchewan 4.0 (4.3)

-Alberta 3.6 (3.4)
