  • 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.

  • 5. Working from home and public transit use in Canada, 2016 to 2023
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202400100002
    Description: The increase in work from home triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic directly decreased public transit use. While this increase in work from home likely reduced commuting and greenhouse gas emissions caused by transportation, it also put downward pressure on the revenues and ridership of urban public transit systems. This article assesses the degree to which the increase in work from home observed in Canada in recent years may have reduced the number of public transit commuters from 2016 to 2023 in urban areas.

  • 7. 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.

  • 8. 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.

  • 9. 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.
