Number of EI claimants falls for second straight month
 
 
October 27, 2009  
 

OTTAWA -- The number of people collecting regular employment insurance 
benefits fell 2.4% in August, with decreases occurring in nearly all 
provinces, Statistics Canada reported Tuesday.

The decline of 19,100 claimants was the second consecutive monthly 
reduction, having fallen 3.8% in July, the first decrease in 11 months.

On a yearly basis, however, the number of claimants stood at 763,200 in 
August, up 52.5% from October 2008, the federal agency said.
