The number of Albertans receiving employment insurance (EI) benefits has risen significantly, accounting for most of the bump in the national rate, according to Statistics Canada.
In September, the number of Albertans on EI rose 9.1 per cent to 58,000. That number is 98.9 per cent higher than the same month last year.
The last time the number of recipients hit this level was in 2010 when the Canadian economy was still struggling after the global recession.
