1. Data source: Statistics Canada, 2001 Census (20% sample)
2. Labour force aged 15 and over who did not have a job any time during the current or previous year.
3. The labour force consists of people currently employed and people who are unemployed but were available to start work in the week prior to enumeration and looked for work in the past 4 weeks.
4. Long-term unemployment excludes institutional residents.
5. "Health regions" are defined by the provincial ministries of health. These are legislated administrative areas in all provinces except Nova Scotia. In Nova Scotia, the Ministry of Health uses statistical "zones" rather than its legislated administrative areas; the zones are aggregations of the nine district health authorities.
6. For complete Canadian coverage, each of the northern territories also represents a health region.
7. The health regions presented in this table are based on boundaries and names in effect as of June 2003.
8. A "peer group" is a grouping of health regions that have similar social and economic characteristics. The nine peer groups are identified by the letters A through I, which are appended to the health region 4-digit code.
9. In Ontario, Public health units (PHU) administer health promotion and disease prevention programs, and District health councils (DHC) are advisory, health planning organizations.
10. In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, health regions are referred to as Health Authorities (HA) or Regional Health Authorities (RHA).
11. The following symbols are used in Statistics Canada publications: (..) for figures not available and (...) for figures not appropriate or not applicable.
12. CANSIM table number 01090200.
