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 - 836. 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.

Family circumstances, hours of work and earnings between single and multiple jobholders are examined.
Release date: 1989-12-20 - 837. Disabled workers ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19890042286Geography: CanadaDescription:
