A drop in job vacancies in Nipissing District in December.

The Labour Market Group reports there were 267 vacancies in the last month of 2016.

That’s down 105 from November and 58 from the same month in 2015.

Officials say the drop indicates a variety of explanations, including part of the winter seasonal trend.

They say results can only be determined once reports are completed over the next several months.
