- 1. Agricultural employees, 2016 to 2018 ArchivedStats in brief: 11-627-M2020033Description:
This infographic is designed to provide data on the number of employees in primary agriculture. These data include employees by industry, province, and farm revenue. They also include type of employment (full-time, part-time or seasonal) and temporary foreign workers employed in agriculture.
Release date: 2020-05-15 - 2. Temporary employment in Canada, 2018 ArchivedStats in brief: 11-627-M2019034Description:
Based on data from the Labor Force Survey, this infographic highlights aspects of temporary employment in Canada in 2018, such as the share that work in term or contract, casual or seasonal jobs, as well differences by province and industry. Selected comparisons with 1998 are also included.
Release date: 2019-05-14 - 3. Trends and seasonality in absenteeism ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200710613190Geography: CanadaDescription:
Past studies of illness-related work absences have focused on annual figures and have not differentiated between full- and part-week absences. But the two have quite different seasonal patterns and long-term trends.
Release date: 2007-09-18 - 4. Summary Of: Low-paid Work and Economically Vulnerable Families over the Last Two Decades ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M2005249Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article summarizes findings from recent research papers in the Business and Labour Market Analysis Division of Statistics Canada, regarding low-paid work and economically vulnerable families. It begins by focusing on the evolution of wages in Canada between 1981 and 2004, and then turns to a close-hand look at low-paid work over these two decades. Next, it asks to what extent low-paid workers live in low income families, before documenting the deteriorating position in the labour marker of low-educated couples and recent immigrants.
Release date: 2005-04-25 - 5. Earnings of temporary versus permanent employees ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200510113135Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study looks at the wage gap between temporary and permanent employees over the 1997 to 2003 period. The comparison is made according to type of temporary employment, since the characteristics of employees vary greatly according to whether they are term or contract, seasonal, casual, or from a temporary agency. Also addressed is the economic vulnerability of temporary workers: Does the wage gap persist when hours worked, earnings of other household members, and number of dependants are considered?
Release date: 2005-03-23 - 6. Seasonal work and Employment Insurance use ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200310913100Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines the many dimensions of seasonality in employment to determine the extent to which each contributes to frequent reliance on Employment Insurance (EI) benefits.
Release date: 2003-12-08 - Articles and reports: 81-003-X20010036215Geography: CanadaDescription:
This research paper documents patterns of self-employment among postsecondary graduates categorized by level of study in the five years immediately following their graduation.
Release date: 2002-06-26 - 8. Seasonal Variation in Rural Employment ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X2001008Geography: CanadaDescription:
This analysis bulletin, the twenty-fourth profiling trends in rural Canada, uses survey data to reveal the seasonal pattern of employment in rural Canada from 1996 to 2000. It is published in collaboration with the Rural Secretariat of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. A higher seasonal variation in employment exists in rural areas compared with urban areas, and is spread throughout virtually all industrial sectors. The lower industrial productivity and reduced wages that likely result present a particular challenge for developing and revitalizing rural areas. This bulleting is useful for researchers and decision-makers who need information on employment seasonality in rural Canada to create appropriate economic strategies.
Release date: 2002-04-24 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2002183Geography: CanadaDescription:
Changes in the labour market such as an increase in the incidence of part-time, part-year work, multiple job holding and self-employment have often been conjectured as demand-driven shifts - that is, that they have resulted from a lack of more traditional job opportunities rather than in response to workers' changing preferences. Yet while the issue of non-standard work is an interesting and important one, there is relatively little existing empirical evidence on the topic.
The general purpose of this paper is to report the results of an empirical analysis that exploits the self-employment status indicator available in the National Graduates Survey (and Follow-Up) databases. It documents and analyses the patterns of self-employment amongst several cohorts of Canadian post-secondary graduates in the first five years following graduation. More specifically, it provides solid empirical documentation of the incidence of self-employment (levels, patterns, trends) amongst recent college and university graduates, overall, and broken down by degree level, sex and year of graduation. This paper also addresses the issue of whether self-employment tends to be the preferred employment option (for those who enter it), or the result of a lack of suitable "conventional" employment opportunities, or some combination of the two.
There are two over-arching conclusions to be drawn from the analysis. First, the incidence of self-employment was relatively stable for the first three cohorts of graduates covered in the analysis. The overall rates ranged from 6.5 to 11.1 percent amongst male graduates and from 3.2 to 6.7 percent for females. The rates tended to be higher for some (but not all) graduates of the most recent cohort (graduates of 1995). Second, the evidence generally points to self-employment representing a relatively attractive job status on average: For every cohort the rates of self-employment rise from the first interview following graduation (after two years) to the second (after five years), an interval over which job opportunities generally improve significantly for graduates; Simple point-in-time (cross-sectional) comparisons of earnings, the job-education skill match, and job satisfaction levels suggest that although the results are somewhat mixed, there is little evidence that the self-employment status is generally characterized by less favourable outcomes, and is perhaps particularly marked by generally higher (not lower) overall levels of job satisfaction;Finally, both the conventional cross-sectional earnings model and the difference equations which control for various fixed effects with which job status might be correlated, further point to self-employment being a higher-paying (and therefore more attractive) job status than the conventional paid worker status.
