Statistics Canada, 1976 Census of Canada, Labour
Force: Labour force activity by marital status, age and sex Catalogue
94-805. (Ottawa: Statistics Canada, Census Information Service, 1978). |
Comment (on tables 7
and 8):
The total figures on these two tables vary slightly from those
shown in Table 6 because the data were collected by two
different methods. The figures shown in table 6 were
obtained from the yearly averages produced by a monthly labour force survey.
This survey is made on a sample of the population and the totals are estimated
from this sample. The figures shown in tables 7 and
8 were obtained from the 1976 census of Canada figures.
The census tabulates all persons (or as many as possible) and calculates
participation and unemployment rates from these totals. The unemployment rates
are not adjusted in the census figures. The largest discrepancy occurs between
the rates for secondary school and post-secondary (non-university) attainers.
