  • 2. Employment, Earnings and Hours
    Table: 72-002-X
    Description:

    This publication presents a timely picture of employment, earnings and hours. The tabulations focus on monthly labour market information and some historical data series. The program provides data for over 200 industries on the total number of paid employees, earnings and hours for Canada, provinces and territories. The estimates are presented as weekly estimates and annual averages are also compiled.

  • 3. Canada's employment downturn Archived
    Articles and reports: 75-001-X200911211048
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    The Canadian labour market recently experienced its worst downturn since the recession of the early 1990s. Since employment last peaked in October 2008, employment declined by 2.3%, or 400,000 individuals. This article uses data from the Labour Force Survey to examine variations in employment levels from October 2008 to October 2009 across a variety of personal and job characteristics. Comparisons are also made with earlier recessions and the U.S. labour market.

    Table: 71-001-P
    Description:

    This publication provides the most current monthly labour market statistics.

  • 6. Comparison of alternative Labour Force Survey estimators Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X20010015854
    Description:

    This paper looks at a range of estimators applicable to a regularly repeated household survey with controlled overlap between successive surveys. The paper shows how the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE) based on a fixed window of time points can be improved by applying the technique of generalised regression. This improved estimator is compared to the AK estimator of Gurney and Daly (1965) and the modified regression estimator of Singh, Kennedy, Wu and Brisebois (1997), using data from the Australian Labour Force Survey.

    Release date: 2001-08-22
  • 7. Regression composite estimation for the Canadian Labour Force Survey: Evaluation and implementation Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X20010015855
    Description:

    The Canadian Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a monthly survey with a complex rotating panel design. After extensive studies, including the investigation of a number of alternative methods for exploiting the sample overlap to improve the quality of estimates, the LFS has chosen a composite estimation method which achieves this goal while satisfying practical constraints. In addition, for variables where there is a substantial gain in efficiency, the new time series tend to make more sense from a subject-matter perspective. This makes it easier to explain LFS estimates to users and the media. Because of the reduced variance under composite estimation, for some variables it is now possible to publish monthly estimates where only three-month moving averages were published in the past. In addition, a greater number of series can be successfully seasonally adjusted.

  • 8. Workers on the move: Quits Archived
    Articles and reports: 75-001-X199200346
