A new report from the Bank of Montreal shows Windsor's economy is turning around.
The report says Windsor's jobless rate has fallen to 5.7 per cent, one of the lowest in the country.
BMO's Senior Economist, Robert Kavcic, says the reason for the economic turnaround is due to North American Auto sales being at an all-time high.
He says Windsor's job market has become more stabilized.
"The auto sector for one which has been performing very well, we know that the broader manufacturing sector has been stabilizing," says Kavcic. "We haven't seen a lot of new investment or new hiring in manufacturing but what we have seen is stabilizing in what has been a trend of network flows from that sector in Ontario."
Kavcic also says Windsor's largest growth has occurred over the past two years.
"A city like Windsor, for example, has seen the jobless rate fall pretty significantly over the past two years to the lowest we have seen over the past five or ten years," says Kavcic. "Where on the flip side, jobless rates in cities like Calgary — which, looking back over the last five or ten years have been among the lowest in the country — have actually totally reversed now and been rising pretty dramatically over the last two years or so."
He says Windsor and the rest of the province are expected to continue growing economically.
