A Timmins Economic Development Corp. (TEDC) study reveals the city netted 308 full-time jobs last year. At the request by its board of directors, TEDC monitored job hires and losses each month in 2001.
Overall, 546 jobs were gained and 238 jobs were eliminated. TEDC officials conclude it may be an indicator of better times ahead and increased confidence in the local economy by government and companies like Falconbridge and TeleTech who have made substantial investments in the community.
