January 2009
The January 2009 issue of Canadian Social Trends, available today, contains three articles.
"Métis in Canada: Selected findings of the 2006 Census" provides a demographic and socio-economic profile of the people who reported Métis as their Aboriginal identity in the most recent census. It examines the growth of the Métis population over the decade 1996 to 2006, as well as their housing conditions, languages, education, labour force participation and earnings.
Also available are two articles titled "Immigrants in Canada who work in a language other than English or French" and "The impact of working in a non-official language on the occupations and earnings of immigrants in Canada."
These related articles used data from the 2001 and 2006 censuses to describe immigrants who used a language other than one of Canada's official languages in their workplace at least on a regular basis.
