School's Out, But Where are the Jobs? (VIDEO)

SAANICH - School's out for winter at Camosun College and Royal Roads University.  Both schools held graduation ceremonies today and hundreds of students crossed the stage to accept their degrees and diplomas.  Royal Roads grads are for the most part already well along in their careers, but for all of these new graduates, convocation day comes amid news that unemployment took a big jump last month. Proportionally, Alberta, Newfoundland and British Columbia suffered the most job losses.  BC's unemployment rate rose from 7.4 per cent to 8.3 per cent and Victoria's increased from 6.1 per cent to 6.4 per cent.
