Canadian Labour Force Estimates by Demographics and Aboriginal Identity (2007-2013)

Statistics Canada data, customized by the Government of Alberta, provides labour force estimates for Canada and its provinces from 2007 to 2013. The dataset presents 8-month averages for characteristics including full-time and part-time employment, unemployment, unemployment rates, participation rate, and employment rate. Estimates are broken down by sex, age group, education level, kind of school, and Aboriginal identity.

• Track provincial labour force participation rate trends over time.

Strengths
