| Notes: Figures may not add up to totals because of rounding. The participation rate is based on a monthly average from September to April and includes full-time and part-time attendance. The elimination of Grade 13 (Ontario Academic Credits (OAC)) in Ontario between 1997/1998 and 2007/2008 may have affected certain participation rates. Labour Force Survey (LFS) estimates for Canada are derived using LFS results from the provinces; the territories are excluded. 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. Source: Statistics Canada, Labour Force Survey. |
