The Workforce Planning Board of Grand Erie is reporting a light gain in jobs in the area. Out of 104 employers surveyed in February, 72 net jobs were gained - 44 of those in manufacturing. Meanwhile, the number of people in Norfolk and across Canada receiving regular Employment Insurance benefits has dropped for the time in seven months. Stats Canada says recipients declined by two per cent in January to just over 640,000, with the biggest drop coming here in Ontario.
