Longitudinal Worker File (LWF)

The data set used to measure the evolution of layoff rates is the Longitudinal Worker File (LWF) created by the Business and Labour Market Analysis (BLMA) Division of Statistics Canada. The LWF is a 10 percent random sample of all Canadian workers, constructed by integrating data from four sources: the Record of Employment (ROE) files of Human Resources Development Canada (on worker separations), the T1 and T4 files of Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, and the Longitudinal Employment Analysis Program (LEAP) of BLMA, Statistics Canada.
