    Description: This article compares labour productivity from 1997 to 2024 between industries dependent on U.S. demand and other industries in the business sector. Labour productivity in this study is measured by real value added per hour worked.

    Description: A central concern surrounding recent advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is their potential to replace human labour, especially in the domain of content creation, such as the production of music, videos, images and text in the cultural industries. However, there is a lack of information regarding how AI may impact workers in these industries. This article attempts to fill this information gap by examining potential occupational exposure to and complementarity with AI in selected cultural industries in Canada.

  • Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202600100001
    Description: Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation hold the potential to transform the nature of work, raising concerns about how different occupations may be affected. The risks associated with technological advancements are particularly relevant for the skilled trades, where work is task-intensive and specialized. This article examines potential exposure to AI- and automation-related job transformation among certified journeyperson occupations.

    Description: Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the potential to transform the nature of work, and its ability to replace human labour remains a central concern. This study highlights recent labour market trends, distinguishing jobs potentially more exposed to and less complementary with AI from other jobs.

    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.

    Description: Office vacancies are higher across Canadian cities than what it was prior to the onset of COVID-19 pandemic because of the widespread adoption of work from home (WFH) and hybrid working arrangements. A better understanding of where teleworkable jobs—jobs that can be done from home—are located informs whether WFH is potentially a viable mechanism for increasing the supply of convertible buildings in areas where housing shortages are most prevalent. This article shows the geography of teleworkable jobs in Toronto and across the Greater Toronto Area.

    Description: As Canada and some other countries from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) transition towards a net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emission economy, there may be concerns regarding its implications on jobs and hence earnings of workers employed in GHG-intensive industries. This article summarizes a larger study conducted by OECD and selected international partners including Statistics Canada, that examined the impact of job displacement on earnings trajectories of workers using matched employer-employee data across 14 OECD countries: Canada, Australia, Austria, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, France, and Sweden.

    Description: Recent trade tensions between the United States (U.S.) and Canada have raised questions around the impact of potential job losses related to tariffs. A recent article revealed that, in general, jobs in industries dependent on U.S. demand for Canadian exports (IDUSCEXs) are well-paying and have many favourable non-wage job characteristics, but not all industries within the broader IDUSCEX grouping ranked relatively high in these measures. The current article follows up this work by investigating the socioeconomic characteristics of workers employed in IDUSCEXs, which could play a key role in how affected workers might adapt to potential job losses.

    Description: While it is challenging to estimate the number of job losses that may be associated with U.S. tariffs, it is possible to describe the quality of jobs at risk of being affected by a decline in U.S. demand for Canadian products. This article addresses this issue by examining a multitude of job quality measures in industries dependent on U.S. demand for Canadian exports.

    Description: The increase in work-from-home triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic has some implications for the Canadian economy such as its effects on revenues in the food services and drinking places. Using monthly provincial data from March 2020 to July 2022, this study quantifies the association between work-from-home and revenues in the food services and drinking places subsector.

    Description: As we begin to use these new versions of AI, our jobs are destined to change. So, what will an average day of work look like a decade from now? Which jobs will AI impact the most? And is AI coming to replace our jobs all together? In this episode, we sat down with AI expert Tahsin Mehdi, an economist in the social analysis and modeling division of Statistics Canada, to answer our questions about how AI will transform our work lives in Canada.

    Description:

    To what extent are teleworkers more or less productive now relative to when they were at their usual place of work? For those who are less productive, what are the main barriers to productivity? Once the pandemic is over, how many Canadians would prefer to work most of their hours at home or outside the home?

    Answers to these questions are crucial to inform discussions about the sustainability of telework in a post COVID-19 context.

    To shed light on these questions, this study uses the supplement to the Labour Force Survey of February 2021.

    Description:

    Income data for Canadian tax filers shed light on the distribution of income in 2018. This infographic illuminates selected characteristics of the top 1% of tax filers in Canada that year, including information on age, gender, and geographic location. The top 1% of tax filers is defined as the 1% of tax filers with the highest total incomes when ranked nationally. These estimates are for a pre-pandemic period and do not reflect any impacts of COVID-19. However, they do provide a baseline for analysing changes to the top of the income distribution during the pandemic period, once those data become available.
