By the end of 1992, a recovery appeared to be increasing its hold on the Canadian economy. A firming of employment and a pick-up in real wages helped to fuel higher household spending in the second half of the year. However, these positive developments were not enough to prevent the annual average unemployment rate from rising to a nine-year high of 11.3%

- 561. Screening job applicants ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610513163Geography: CanadaDescription:
Finding the right person for the job is the goal of every hiring decision. In most cases, a personal interview combined with a skill-specific test will be enough for both parties to see if they are compatible. However, for dangerous jobs or where public safety or security is at stake, more stringent requirements need to be met. Medical examinations, security checks, and drugs tests are three screening techniques employers use.
Release date: 2006-06-20 - 562. Unemployment since 1971 ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X200610513164Geography: CanadaDescription:
Between 1971 and 2005, Canada's labour force became more educated in line with the increased credentials of new entrants, while the aging of the workforce shifted the experience profile upwards. However, this was not reflected in unemployment rates, which were for the most part slightly higher in 2005 than in 1971. What factors are at play? The article looks at specific age-education combinations to yield a more nuanced long-term perspective on current labour market conditions.
Release date: 2006-06-20 - 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 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2006280Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
Before 1989, childless social assistance recipients in Quebec under age 30 received much lower benefits than recipients over age 30. We use this sharp discontinuity in policy to estimate the effects of social assistance on various labour market outcomes using a regression discontinuity approach. We find strong evidence that more generous social assistance benefits reduce employment. The estimates exhibit little sensitivity to the degree of flexibility in the specification, and perform very well when we control for unobserved heterogeneity using a first difference specification. Finally, we show that commonly used difference-in-differences estimators may perform poorly with inappropriately chosen control groups.
Release date: 2006-06-14 - 565. 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 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2006282Geography: CanadaDescription:
Employment rates and earnings among single mothers improved significantly after 1980, and by 2000, low-income rates reached new historic lows. Unlike married mothers, most of the gains among lone mothers were the result of the dynamics of population change and cohort replacement as the large and better educated baby boom generation replaced earlier cohorts and began entering their forties. Most of these gains, moreover, went to older lone mothers. The demographically driven gains of lone mothers in the past quarter century were an historical event unlikely to be repeated in the future. Since the demographic drivers underlying these gains are now nearing maturity, future gains from this source are likely to be modest.
Release date: 2006-06-07 - 567. The west coast boom ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-010-X20060059196Geography: Province or territory, Census metropolitan areaDescription:

Release date: 2006-05-11 - 568. 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 - 569. Innovation Capabilities: Science and Engineering Employment in Canada and the United States ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-622-M2006011Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper compares the size and composition of science and engineering employment in Canada and the United States. It examines the share of paid employment and paid earnings accounted for by the science and engineering workforce in both countries. Our tabulations distinguish between a core group and a related group of science and engineering workers. The core group includes computer and information scientists, life and related scientists, physical and related scientists, social and related scientists, and engineers. The related group includes workers in health-related occupations, science and engineering managers, science and engineering technologists and technicians, a residual class of other science and engineering workers, and post-secondary educators in science and engineering fields. We examine the employment and earnings shares of science and engineering workers over the 1980/1981 to 2000/2001 period. Detailed industry comparisons are reported for 2000/2001.
Release date: 2006-05-04 - 570. 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.
