Proportion of Employment

The proportion of employment charts below reflect the number of full and part-time (working less than 30 hours per week) workers as a percentage of total population (thus, the percentages do not add to 100). Keeping with the trend established above, the Clarenville and Shoal Harbour communities have much higher proportions of full-time employment than the economic zone and the province.
