Alberta Employee Statistics by Wage, Education, and Occupation

Alberta labor market data presents monthly counts of employees, average hourly earnings, and average actual hours. Statistics Canada data was customized by the Government of Alberta to cover January 2014 to June 2015. The dataset is segmented by highest education attainment, wage distribution, and occupation codes.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlation between education_attainment and average_hourly_earnings across different occupation codes.
• Model monthly trends in number_of_employees by wage_distribution and occupation from 2014 to 2015.
• Compare average_actual_hours worked across occupation classifications and education levels.
• Assess wage inequality by examining employee counts across wage_distribution brackets within specific NOCS codes.

Strengths

• Data covers 18 consecutive months from January 2014 to June 2015.
• Provides breakdowns across three key dimensions: education, wage, and occupation (NOCS 2 and 3 digits).

Limitations

• Limited temporal coverage, ending in June 2015, making it stale for current analysis.
• Geographic scope is restricted solely to Alberta, Canada.
• Unknown row count and specific column details limit assessment of granularity.
