Note 5

Labour Force Survey (LFS) estimates for Canada are derived using the results of the LFS in the provinces; the territories are not included.

Return to note 5 referrer

Notes: Estimates for small geographic areas, for small groups, or for cross-classified variables will be associated with larger variability. Due to rounding, sub-totals and totals may not match the sum of the individual values. Caution should be exercised in interpreting the ratios for the provinces and territories and differences in ratios between the provinces/territories and over time, as small estimates may present fairly high sampling variability. Estimates for small geographic areas, small age-groups, or for cross-classified variables will be associated with larger variability.
