- Articles and reports: 75-001-X199000294Geography: CanadaDescription:
As more women have joined the work force over the last twenty years, they have been entering traditionally male occupations. And to a lesser degree, men have been choosing careers in female-dominated occupations. This study looks at the extent of these moves into non-traditional occupations.
Release date: 1990-05-29 - 622. Time lost: An alternative view of unemployment ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19900012295Geography: CanadaDescription:
Calculating an unemployment rate based on unutilized hours offers a more complete measure of unemployment. It also results in a higher rate of unemployment. This study provides a look at what else this measure can tell us.
Release date: 1990-01-26 - 623. The labour force: Into the '90s ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19900012289Geography: CanadaDescription:
In 1980, few people expected the depth of the 1981-1982 recessions or the strength of the subsequent recovery. Still, as we started the new decade, the unemployment rate stood at 7.5% and regional job disparities remained one of the most critical problems facing Canada. We offer a look back at the trends and fundamental changes that occurred in the labour market during the '80s.
Release date: 1990-01-26 - 624. High technology at work ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19900012290Geography: CanadaDescription:
Many analysts see high technology industries as the way to a healthy and wealthy economy. This article reviews some of the concepts and definitions of high technology, selects one definition and examines the 1977 to 1986 employment and earnings dynamics in these industries.
Release date: 1990-01-26 - 625. The graduates of '82: Where are they? ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19900012293Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study of 1982 graduates from Canadian universities and community colleges follows their fortunes in the labour market up to 1987. It compares the earnings of graduates in various disciplines and looks at their patterns of inter-provincial mobility.
Release date: 1990-01-26 - 626. Moonlighters ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19890042285Geography: CanadaDescription:
In the average week of 1988, over a half a million people worked at two or more jobs. This study shows that some groups of workers - the young, the self-employed - are especially disposed to moonlighting. Family circumstances, hours of work and earnings between single and multiple jobholders are examined.
Release date: 1989-12-20 - 627. Disabled workers ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19890042286Geography: CanadaDescription:
There were nearly 400,000 disabled workers in Canada in 1986 - less than a third of working age Canadians with a disability. What are the characteristics of disabled workers? This study compares disabled workers with the non-disabled in the work force and with disabled persons outside of the work force.
Release date: 1989-12-20 - 628. Immigrants in product fabricating ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19890042287Geography: CanadaDescription:
Immigrant workers are over-represented in "product fabricating" occupations, which include, for example, garment workers and mechanics. This profile of immigrants in fabricating jobs looks at age, education, period of immigration and knowledge of English or French. It also compared the employment income of immigrant and non-immigrant workers in product fabricating occupations.
Release date: 1989-12-20 - 629. Unemployment: A tale of two sources ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19890042288Geography: CanadaDescription:
Unemployment estimates from the Labour Force Survey, source of the official unemployment rate, are quite different from counts of the number of Unemployment Insurance beneficiaries. This piece reviews the conceptual differences between the two data sources and quantifies many of the factors that create the discrepancies.
Release date: 1989-12-20 - 630. The labour market: Mid-year report [1989] ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19890032279Geography: CanadaDescription:
Employment growth moderated considerably this year, and shifted its focus westward: more than half the growth occurred in British Columbia. An up-to-date look at labour market developments in the first six months of 1989.
