Prince George, B.C. –  British Columbia  has  the highest rate of  job vacancies in the country, according to  the 2nd quarter report from the Canadian Federation of Independent business.

The vacancy rate is climbing nationwide  says  CFIB’s Chief Economist Ted Mallet  ““We are starting to see a growing number of unfilled jobs in most provinces across the country.”

Nationally, the job vacancy rate is  2.6%.
