- 1. Is the workplace becoming safer? ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610713168Geography: CanadaDescription:
As in Europe and other parts of North America, compensation claims for lost workdays in Canada have generally declined. Although this event is encouraging, the rate of decrease may not be uniform for all age groups, industries or regions. Workplace injuries among young workers aged 15 to 24 are of particular interest in this look at injury claim rates in Ontario and British Columbia.

Release date: 2006-09-19 - Articles and reports: 11-010-X20060069229Geography: CanadaDescription:
The post-war surge of women into the labour force has slowed in recent years, mostly in western Canada. Participation rates east of the Ottawa River continue to increase, reflecting differences between east and west in day care, education, job composition, immigration and the age of women.
Release date: 2006-06-15 - 3. Rural Employment in the Culture Sector ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X2005008Geography: CanadaDescription:
The objective of this paper is to document the nature of culture employment in rural Canada.
Release date: 2006-06-12 - 4. Innovation Capabilities: Comparing Science and Engineering Employment in Canadian and U.S. Cities ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-622-M2006012Geography: CanadaDescription:
In recent years, cities have become increasingly interested in their ability to generate, attract and retain human capital. One measure of human capital is employment in science- and engineering-based occupations. This paper provides a comparison of the employment shares of these specialized occupations across Canadian and U.S. cities by using data from the Canadian and the U.S. censuses from 1980-1981 and 2000-2001. The paper, therefore, provides a perspective on how Canadian cities performed relative to their U.S. counterparts over a twenty-year period. It also seeks to evaluate how cities of different sizes have performed, because large cities may be advantaged over smaller cities in terms of factors influencing both the demand for, and supply of, scientists and engineers.
Release date: 2006-05-11 - 5. Students in the labour market ArchivedArticles and reports: 81-004-X20060019184Description:
This article uses data from the Labour Force Survey to examine trends in the labour market experiences of young men and women who are full-time students: younger students aged 15 to 17 years (of normal high school age) and older students aged 18 to 24 years old (a typical age for attending postsecondary institutions). The analysis also distinguishes between employment during the school year (September to April) and employment during the summer months.
Release date: 2006-04-27 - Articles and reports: 11-621-M2006039Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using data from the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) this study examines the labour market experience of Canadians who hold a university diploma and who worked at least one month in a job requiring no more than a high school diploma between 1993 and 2001.
Release date: 2006-04-06 - 7. Recent changes in employment by industry ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610113155Geography: CanadaDescription:
Over the last three years, low interest rates have spurred a surge in home construction, and strong world demand has stimulated natural resource industries. At the same time, a soaring loonie has created challenges for Canadian manufacturing. This article examines these three industries, looking at the labour market impact in the resource-rich western provinces and the large manufacturing base in central Canada.
Release date: 2006-03-20 - 8. Disability in the workplace ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610213158Geography: CanadaDescription:
Employment equity and human rights legislation ensures access to the labour market for those with disabilities. Accommodating them in their job and in the workplace is an important part of the issue. A look at the types and severity of disabilities experienced by those aged 15 to 64 in the labour force, and a comparison of some of their characteristics with the non-disabled population.
Release date: 2006-03-20 - Articles and reports: 11-010-X20060029094Geography: CanadaDescription:
Most of the new trends that began in 2001 intensified last year, notably the growth in natural resources and construction and losses in factories and the ICT sector. This shift also equalized job growth in urban and rural areas. Almost all job growth was for older workers, reflecting both their increasing share of the population and growing attachment to the labour force.
