The jobless rate in the capital region slipped down a peg to 6.4 per cent in September, versus 6.5 per cent in August, despite the loss of 2,100 jobs, Statistics Canada reported Friday.

The region’s labour force shrank faster than the job loss, down by about 2,800.

The high-tech sector appears to be on fire in the region, adding 1,100 positions in September over August for a news total of 51,800.

It was the sector’s sixth straight monthly gain.

Capital region job market was down overall in September, but there were also strong gains in public administration and construction sectors, both up 1,900 jobs.

Nationally, Canada’s economy added 67,200 jobs in September, and the country’s unemployment rate was unchanged at seven per cent.
