Monthly Canadian Labour Force Statistics by Education, Gender, and Age

Labour force statistics detail monthly counts of employed, unemployed, and persons not in the labour force, along with unemployment, participation, and employment rates. Data is segmented by educational attainment, gender, and age group, published by Statistics Canada.

Use Cases

• Analyze unemployment_rate trends across different educational_attainment levels to assess skill-based economic vulnerability.
• Model participation_rate and employment_rate by gender and age_group to study demographic workforce dynamics.
• Track monthly changes in the number of persons in the labour_force versus not_in_the_labour_force by educational_attainment.

Strengths

• Data is segmented by three key demographic dimensions: educational_attainment, gender, and age_group.
• Published by Statistics Canada, a national statistical agency.
• Updated monthly, with a last recorded update in March 2026.

Limitations

• The dataset is unadjusted for seasonality, which may obscure underlying trends in monthly labour_force data.
• Specific sample sizes, row counts, and column details are unavailable for assessing granularity.
