Windsor’s jobless rate was up slightly in October compared to the previous month.
Statistics Canada says it was 9.8 per cent last month, and 9.7 per cent in September.
Windsor still has the highest unemployment rate in Canada.
On a national level, Canada's labour force received a boost of 44,400 net jobs last month thanks to a surge in temporary public-administration work likely generated by the federal election.
Statistics Canada's latest job-market report also says the increase helped push October's unemployment rate down one tenth of a percentage point to seven per cent.
The agency says the reference week for its survey that registered a gain of 32,000 public-administration jobs overlapped some of the final days of the election campaign.
Historically, Statistics Canada's jobs report has detected similar, temporary spikes in employment during election and census periods.
The October data also shows the number of part-time positions soared by 35,400, while full-time jobs crept up by just 9,000.
The overall net increase in jobs last month was higher than economists' expectations and surpassed the 12,000 positions added in September.
