Statistics Canada, Labour Force Survey Division, The
labour force: 1976 annual averages (December 1976) and 1977 annual
averages December 1977 (Ottawa: Statistics Canada, 1976 and 1977). |
1. Figures for 1976 were obtained from 1976 census
figures and for 1977 from labour force statistics. These two groups of
statistics are )gathered by slightly different techniques and care should be
exercised in comparing them.
2. To be "In the labour force" is to be classifiable
as either employed or unemployed This definition excludes those who are
institutionalized, who are full-time students, who are in the armed forces
and/or who did not actively seek or hold a job
3. The participation rate for each educational group
is calculated as
total in the labour force x 100
total in the
educational group
4. This includes both partial university and partial
non-university post-secondary, but excludes those who have obtained degrees,
diplomas, or certificates. |
