  • 11. Working from home: Potential implications for public transit and greenhouse gas emissions
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202100400005
    Description: The increase in telework observed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic shows that far more workers are able to work from home than had been observed prior to the pandemic.

    The economic costs of the pandemic to this point have been significant and pervasive, both in Canada and other countries. However, the rapid labour market adjustment to telework offers some potential longer-term benefits for a variety of reasons. More broadly, from urban planning and environmental perspectives, more widespread adoption of telework would result in less commuter traffic and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study estimates the extent to which commuter traffic would decrease, which modes of transportation would see the largest decreases and the resulting implications for GHG emissions if the Canadian economy were to operate at its maximum telework capacity, expressed relative to the commuter levels that prevailed before the pandemic.

  • 13. Working from home: Productivity and preferences Archived
    Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202100100012
    Description:

    To what extent are teleworkers more or less productive now relative to when they were at their usual place of work? For those who are less productive, what are the main barriers to productivity? Once the pandemic is over, how many Canadians would prefer to work most of their hours at home or outside the home?

    Answers to these questions are crucial to inform discussions about the sustainability of telework in a post COVID-19 context.

    To shed light on these questions, this study uses the supplement to the Labour Force Survey of February 2021.

    Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202000100009
    Description:

    With ‘stay at home' essential to the COVID-19 response, the dwellings in which people live take on added importance in their lives. Extended time indoors is likely to raise various challenges, such as getting physical exercise, maintaining social contacts, or balancing telework, children and home schooling, and household routines in a confined space.

  • 1. Enhancing data for rural Canada: Small area estimation of remote work opportunities
    Articles and reports: 18-001-X2024001
    Description: This study applies small area estimation (SAE) and a new geographic concept called Self-contained Labor Area (SLA) to the Canadian Survey on Business Conditions (CSBC) with a focus on remote work opportunities in rural labor markets. Through SAE modelling, we estimate the proportions of businesses, classified by general industrial sector (service providers and goods producers), that would primarily offer remote work opportunities to their workforce.

  • 4. Unionization in Canada, 1981 to 2022
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202201100001
    Description:

    The Canadian economy has experienced numerous changes over the last four decades. Employment has moved away from manufacturing and towards service sector jobs. Technological changes have brought computer-based technologies and, more recently, robotics and artificial intelligence to the workplace. World prices of oil and natural resources have fluctuated considerably. Since March 2020, work arrangements have been altered substantially, with thousands of employees starting to work from home. In this evolving context, how have unionization rates evolved in Canada over the last four decades? This article uses data from the Survey of Work History of 1981 and the Labour Force Survey to answer this question.

  • 5. Working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic: How rates in Canada and the United States compare
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202200800001
    Description:

    As COVID-19 began to spread throughout Canada and the United States in early 2020, many employees were asked to work from home to help control the spread of the virus. COVID restrictions were more stringent in Canada than in the U.S., at least throughout 2021, and the degree to which Canadian and U.S. employees worked from home during the pandemic may have differed across countries. The goal of this paper is to fill this information gap and analyze the trends in work from home rates between the two countries from May 2020 to December 2021.

  • 6. Employer responses to labour shortages
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202200700001
    Description:

    As the labour market recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is imperative to assess which strategies Canadian employers plan to use over the next few months to cope with labour scarcity. This study documents the strategies that private sector businesses expecting labour shortages at the beginning of 2022 plan to use during that year to deal with personnel recruitment, retention and training. The study also investigates the degree to which businesses’ plans to offer telework and flexible scheduling varies across industries.

  • 7. The long-term wage growth of teleworkers before the COVID-19 pandemic
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202200500001
    Description:

    One commonly held view of telework is that prior to COVID-19, teleworkers might have been promoted less often than other employees or might have declined job offers for high-paying jobs that did not offer the opportunity to work from home. Such scenarios imply that prior to COVID-19, employees working from home would have experienced lower wage growth in the long term than other employees. This study assesses whether this is the case using integrated data from Statistics Canada’s Longitudinal Worker File (LWF) and the 2006 and 2016 Censuses of Population.

  • 8. Working from home for an employer located in another province or territory
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202200200001
    Description:

    The substantial increase in telework observed since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic has raised the possibility that in the near future, some Canadian workers might be able to work from home for an employer located in another province or territory. This article focuses on this group of teleworkers and assesses the amount of people who worked remotely, the groups that were more likely to telecommute, their compensation compared to that of other teleworkers, and the amount of teleworkers that are likely to work remotely in the future.

  • 10. Working from home after the COVID-19 pandemic: An estimate of worker preferences
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202100500001
    Description:

    As is now well known, the COVID-19 pandemic substantially increased work from home in Canada. This “Spotlight on data and research” estimates to what extent Canadians would prefer working from home once the COVID-19 pandemic is over. The answer has potentially significant implications for future traffic congestion, public transit use, greenhouse gas emissions, demand for office space in city centres and for housing in suburbs, and the dynamism (or lack thereof) of retail trade stores and restaurants located in downtown areas.
