Highest certificate, diploma or degree: Information indicating the person's most advanced certificate, diploma or degree. This is a derived variable obtained from the educational qualifications questions of the 2011 National Household Survey, which asked for all certificates, diplomas and degrees to be reported. The general hierarchy used in deriving this variable (high school graduation, trades, college, university) is loosely tied to the 'in-class' duration of the various types of education. At the detailed level, someone who has completed one type of certificate, diploma or degree will not necessarily have completed the credentials listed below it in the hierarchy. For example, a registered apprenticeship graduate may not have completed a high school certificate or diploma, nor does an individual with a Master's degree necessarily have a 'certificate or diploma above the Bachelor's level.' Although the hierarchy may not fit all programs perfectly, it gives a general measure of educational attainment.
Earnings or employment income - refers to total income received by persons aged 15 years and over during calendar year 2010 as wages and salaries, net income from a non-farm unincorporated business and/or professional practice, and/or net farm self-employment income. This Alberta Official Statistics focuses only on those aged 25-64 and working full-time.
For the 2011 NHS estimates, the global non-response rate (GNR) is used as an indicator of data quality. This indicator combines complete non-response (household) and partial non-response (question) into a single rate. The value of the GNR is presented to users. A smaller GNR indicates a lower risk of non-response bias and as a result, lower risk of inaccuracy. The threshold used for estimates' suppression is a GNR of 50% or more. Users are advised to consult the National Household Survey User Guide, 2011 and other reference materials to ensure appropriate use and analyses of the data.
