Description
(StatCan Product) This information product has been customized to present information on labour force estimates by sex, age groups, education level, and immigrant status for Canada and provinces from 1996 to 2013 using annual averages.
NOTE: Table cells showing "0.0" refer to estimates that are suppressed (cannot be published) because they are below the confidentiality threshold. Given that the Labour Force Survey is a sample survey, estimates relating to very specific, detailed geographic areas, industry or occupation groups are subject to higher variability due to small sample size.
The confidentiality threshold is 1,500 for Canada, Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia; less than 500 for Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan; and less than 200 for Prince Edward Island. For suppression levels within census metropolitan areas (CMAs), census agglomerations (CA) and economic regions (ERs), use the respective provincial suppression levels above.
The Labour Force Survey estimates are based on a sample, and are therefore subject to sampling variability. Estimates for smaller geographic areas, industries, occupations or cross tabulations will have more variability. For an explanation of sampling variability of estimates, and how to use standard errors to assess this variability, consult the Data Quality section in the Guide to the Labour Force Survey.
