- 1. 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: 2001-04-18 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2000006Geography: CanadaDescription:
The rural industrial picture is quickly changing in Canada. As in most western nations, primary industries in Canada are losing jobs while the service sector is employing more people every year. National, provincial and local decision-makers need an understanding of the mix and the trends of employment among the industrial sectors in rural areas to create policies and strategies that best meet the needs of rural areas. The purpose of this bulletin is to provide an overview of the structure of employment among industrial sectors in rural Canada in the 1980s and the 1990s.

Release date: 1999-12-01 - 6. Missing work in 1998 - industry differences ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19990034684Geography: CanadaDescription:
In January 1999, the Labour Force Survey adopted the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for its industry coding. This article examines 1998 work absence rates according to NAICS. It provides a brief overview of the absence levels for 1997 and 1998, and a detailed examination of industry differences in the latter year.
Release date: 1999-09-01 - 7. Self-employment in Canada and the United States ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19990034685Geography: CanadaDescription:
Considerable attention has been paid in recent years to self-employment in Canada, especially to workers' reasons for choosing this option. Have they been "pushed" by lack of full-time paid jobs or "pulled" by the positive benefits of self-employment? This article looks at the characteristics of the self-employed and the growth of self-employment in Canada and the United States.
Release date: 1999-09-01 - 8. An Analysis of Science and Technology Workers Deployment in the Canadian Economy, January 1999 ArchivedArticles and reports: 88F0006X1999003Description:
This paper examines the industrial distribution, and levels of unemployment of people who were educated in science and technology subjects at college, Bachelor, Master's and Ph.D. levels.
Release date: 1999-06-08 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M1999133Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper highlights recent developments in self-employment in Canada and explores its relationship to unemployment/full-time paid-employment. There are now two and a half million Canadians working at their own businesses, amounting to 16.2% of the total labour force or accounting for 17.8% of total employment. In the first eight years of the 1990s, self-employment on average expanded by 4.1% per year, contributing to over three out of four new jobs the economy has created. Entry and exit data demonstrate that there are substantial flows into and out of this sector of the economy. Gross flows into and out of self-employment as the main labour market activity averaged nearly half a million per year between 1982 and 1994, amounting to 42% of the total self-employed population.
The fixed-effects modelling results show a statistically significant but empirically small negative (positive) relationship between self-employment and unemployment (full-time paid- employment). This conclusion holds true across different data sources, for different time periods, for different measures and definitions, for different empirical samples, and across various estimating techniques. There is also a statistically significant but empirically small negative (positive) relationship between exits out of self-employment and unemployment (full-time paid- employment). It appears that a host of non-cyclical factors are behind the recent surge in self-employment.
Release date: 1999-04-27 - 10. Seasonality in employment ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19990014408Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
Seasonality is an important issue because it can add a burden to the economy. The short-term use of seasonal labour is a more costly process than a steady use of labour throughout the year. This article reviews the change in seasonal employment patterns over the past two decades, and looks at how various industries, dempgraphic groups and regions have been affected.

Release date: 1999-03-03 - Articles and reports: 63-016-X19980013842Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study presents estimates of job reallocation, calculated as gross job gains plus gross job losses; compares job reallocation in the service sector to that in the goods-producing sector; explains why innovative industries do not necessarily have similar employment patterns; and examines why some industries that are less technologically sophisticated appear to exhibit the same job reallocation patterns as some innovative industries.
