I’m seeing the numbers for Kelowna’s unemployment rate, but does it meet the eye test?

Kelowna’s consistently sitting near 10% unemployment but with plenty of fluctuation, while Kamloops shows a much more reasonable 6.5%.

I don’t know what you’re seeing but Kelowna appears to be killing it. The Memorial Cup, the Touchdown BC Lions events far more successful than I thought. Rock the Lake music festival has become a summer staple. It’s got a new sign, I guess…

What am I missing about this unemployment rate? It can’t be all youth, can it? Email me at mjones@infonews.ca.

Trump says US will blockade Iran in Strait of Hormuz and charge ships for safe passage

U.S.A. to charge 20% toĺl on all ships using the straight…. yep…. Just Donald making it up as he goes along. It’s embarrassing the limited grasp this world leader has on international law. I remain convinced that he bribed his way through his education.
