The jobless numbers show BC's economy is not out of the woods yet.
The province lost 13-thousand jobs last month, taking the unemployment rate from 7.4 to 8.3 percent.
BC's Small Business and Economic Development Minister Iain Black says it's all part of the ebb and flow of an economic recovery.
He says we are still looking for a path to that recovery, and getting confirmation from Moody's this week of BC's triple "A" rating is one of the building blocks.
He denies government stimulus isn't working, pointing to job gains in the two months before these latest numbers.
