1. Aboriginal population refers to those persons who reported identifying with at least one Aboriginal group, i.e., North American Indian, Métis or Inuit. 2. Labour Force Survey (LFS) estimates for Canada are derived using LFS results from the provinces; the territories are excluded. 3. 10 largest communities. 4. Includes no education; education below high school graduation; high school graduation; some postsecondary education (not completed); trade certificate or diploma from a vocational school or apprenticeship training. 5. Includes non-university certificate or diploma from a community college, CEGEP, school of nursing and similar programs at this level; university certificate below bachelor's level. 6. Includes bachelor's degree; university degree or certificate above bachelor's degree. Notes: The data are based on a 12-month average from January to December. While persons living on reserves and other Aboriginal settlements are not included in the sample for the provinces, the sample for the territories includes both aboriginal and non-aboriginal communities. Caution should be exercised in interpreting the provincial ratios and differences in ratios between provinces and over time, as small estimates may present fairly high sampling variability. Estimates for small geographic areas, for small age-groups or for cross-classified variables will be associated with larger variability. Data in this table are not directly comparable with Census-based data for the Aboriginal population. Source: Statistics Canada, Labour Force Survey. |
