Canada jobless rate falls to 6.6% in February
The Canadian unemployment rate is at its lowest in two years
Ottawa - AFP
Canada's jobless rate fell slightly to 6.6 percent in February as 15,000 net new jobs were added and fewer people searched for work, the government statistical agency said Friday.
The unemployment rate is the lowest in two years, according to Statistics Canada, and 0.2 percentage points lower than analysts had forecast.
It was also the second "notable" employment gain in three months, the agency said in a statement, suggesting to economists alongside other indicators an uptick in the Canadian economy.
Full-time employment in February rose by 105,000 while part time work fell by 90,000.
The gains were spread mostly among core-aged women (25-54) and men 55 and older, and centered mostly in western Canada province while eastern maritime provinces saw a decline in employment.
Overall, there were more people employed in wholesale and retail trade, public administration and in transportation and warehousing.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
