Important Notes

Notes

This application is based on estimates from two surveys: the Labour Force Survey (LFS) and the Job Vacancy and Wage Survey (JVWS). All national, provincial and economic region (ER) estimates used in this application are unadjusted. The LFS data are presented as three-month moving averages, while estimates from the JVWS are available on a quarterly basis.

The shading applied to the map of Canada illustrates the year-over-year change for the selected indicator, as presented in the table below the map.

LFS seasonally adjusted estimates at the national and provincial level are published each month in The Daily.

Territorial LFS estimates are not included in the national estimates, but are published separately as three-month moving averages in table 14-10-0292-01 (formerly CANSIM 282-0100).

Sampling variability and data quality

The Labour Force Survey (LFS) estimates are based on a sample and are therefore subject to sampling variability. As a result, monthly estimates will show more variability than trends observed over longer time periods. For more information, see "Interpreting Monthly Changes in Employment from the Labour Force Survey." Estimates for smaller geographic areas or industries also have more variability. For an explanation of the sampling variability of estimates and how to use standard errors to assess this variability, consult the "Data quality" section of the publication Labour Force Information (71-001-X).

Data quality indicators for Job Vacancy and Wage Survey (JVWS) estimates are based on the coefficient of variation (CV). Comparisons of data from the first quarter of 2015 with data from subsequent quarters should be made with caution.

For more information, consult the Guide to the Labour Force Survey (71-543-G) or the Guide to the Job Vacancy and Wage Survey (75-514-G).

How to use

How to Use This Application

The map of Canada, the summary table to the right of the map, and the detailed table below the map are interactive.

The map can be viewed by provinces and territories or by economic region by clicking on the toggle buttons above the map. The user can select a geography one of three ways:

  • By clicking on the geography of interest in the map;
  • By using the drop-down menu above the map; or
  • By selecting a geography from the table below the map.

To update the map or the table below the map with a different labour market indicator, the user can make a selection in the summary table to the right of the map. The user can also select a preferred reference period (going back 10 years for the Labour Force Survey and from the first quarter of 2016 for the Job Vacancy and Wage Survey) by using the dropdown menu beneath the appropriate survey name in the summary table to the right of the map.

Hover over the province, territory or economic region of interest within the map to view the year-over-year change of the selected labour market indicator for that geography. This information can also be found in the table below the map, which contains all geographies (provinces, territories and economic regions) and the selected indicator, in addition to the year-over-year change.
