NOTES: 1. Occupation specific Unemployment Rates include only those unemployed who worked in the past year. The "All Occupations" rate incorporates total unemployed persons which includes an "Occupation Unclassified" category.

2. Due to the relatively small sample sizes from which disaggregated data are derived, caution should be used in the interpretation of month-to-month changes in the estimates.

3. For the unemployed, industry or occupation is based on the last job held in the previous year. No information is collected on industry or occupation of job search.

Labour Force Statistics

This report is based on statistics from the Labour Force Survey produced monthly by Statistics Canada.

Definitions and Explanatory Notes

Reference WeekMonthly estimates of employment, unemployment, and persons not in the labour force refer to the specific week covered by the survey each month, normally the week containing the 15th day.

Labour Force

The labour force is composed of those members of the civilian non-institutional population 15 years of age and over who, during the reference week, were employed or unemployed.

EmployedEmployed persons are those who, during the reference week, either: (a) did any work at all, or (b) had a job but were not at work due to own illness ordisability, personal or family responsibilities, bad weather, labour dispute, vacation, or other reason not specified above (excluding persons whosejob attachment was to a job to start at a definite date in the future).

UnemploymentUnemployed persons are those who, during the reference week, either: (a) were without work, had actively looked for work in the past four weeks(ending with the reference week), and were available for work; or (b) had not actively looked for work in the past four weeks but had been on layoffand were available for work; or (c) had not actively looked for work in the past four weeks but had a new job to start in four weeks or less from the reference week, and were available for work.

Unemployment RateThe unemployment rate represents the number of unemployed persons expressed as a percentage of the labour force. The unemployment rate for a particular group (age, sex, marital status, etc.) is the number of unemployed in that group expressed as a percentage of the labour force for that group.

Participation RateThe participation rate represents the labour force expressed as a percentage of the population 15 years of age and over. The participation rate for a particular group (age, sex, marital status, etc.) is the labour force for that group expressed as a percentage of the population for that group.

Employment RateThe employment rate (employment/population ratio) is the number of employed persons expressed as a percentage of the population 15 years of age and over. The employment rate for a particular group (age, sex, marital status, etc.) is the employment for that group expressed as a percentageof the population for that group.

RoundingEstimates published by the Labour Force Survey are rounded to the nearest thousand but all derived values (totals, averages, rates, ratios, percent changes etc.) are calculated from unrounded figures. Therefore, the sum of the individual rounded items may not equal the total.

Seasonal Adjustment (S.A.)Fluctuations in economic time series are caused by seasonal, cyclical and irregular movements. A seasonally adjusted series is one from which seasonal movements have been eliminated. Seasonal movements are defined as those which are caused by regular annual events such as climate, holidays, vacation periods, and cycles related to crops, production and retail sales associated with Christmas and Easter. It should benoted that the seasonally adjusted series contain irregular as well as longer-term cyclical fluctuations.
