  • 22. Indigenous employment and income in Indigenous-owned businesses: A comparative analysis
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202600100002
    Description: Indigenous-owned businesses are a growing and important component of Canada’s economic landscape. These businesses not only contribute to entrepreneurship and community development but also serve as important sources of employment for Indigenous people. This study represents a novel contribution to the evidence base. Statistics Canada first helped close a critical data gap by developing a framework to identify Indigenous business owners and Indigenous-owned businesses. Building on that foundation, the present analysis extends the work to fill another gap, providing data on Indigenous employment within Indigenous-owned businesses.

  • 28. United States tariffs and Canadian labour market trends
    Articles and reports: 75-006-X202500300004
    Description: Using data from the Labour Force Survey and the Survey of Employment, Payrolls and Hours, this study examines the impacts of tariff-related trade uncertainty on the Canadian labour market. The characteristics of jobs and workers most vulnerable to U.S. tariffs are explored. Impacts on employment in industries dependent on U.S. demand for Canadian exports, as well as Canadian regions with a higher share of jobs in industries dependent on U.S. demand, are also examined. In addition, this study uses adjusted concepts to compare the unemployment rates in Canada and the United States.

  • 29. The impact of layoffs on labour market outcomes of workers in industries dependent on United States demand for Canadian exports
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202501000003
    Description: Recently imposed tariffs on Canadian exports by the United States could reduce U.S. demand for Canadian products and, consequently, potentially lead to job losses in industries dependent on U.S. demand for Canadian exports. Although it is too early to know how workers in industries dependent on U.S. demand for Canadian exports might adapt to potential job losses, the purpose of this article is to examine historical patterns of their post-displacement labour market outcomes, which could yield valuable insights.

  • 30. Adapting to change: Online first collection initiatives to improve the Labour Force Survey response rate
    Articles and reports: 75-005-M2025001
    Description: Since 2010, engaging Canadians to participate in the LFS has become more challenging due to a variety of social and technological changes. The decline in the LFS response rate accelerated in 2020, exacerbated by public health measures during the COVID-19 pandemic. This technical paper presents preliminary results of two collection initiatives implemented using an online first strategy to improve the LFS response rates by confirming respondent contact information and expanding the availability of online response. Through these and other planned initiatives, Statistics Canada is working to ensure that the LFS estimates continue to provide an accurate and representative portrait of the Canadian labour market.
