Labour Force Survey (Rebased, Revised), 1985

View this record at source repository
Description:
The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a household survey carried out monthly by Statistics Canada. Since its inception in 1945, the objectives of the LFS have been to divide the working-age population into three mutually exclusive classifications - employed, unemployed, and not in the labour force - and to provide descriptive and explanatory data on each of these categories. Data from the survey provide information on major labour market trends such as shifts in employment across industrial sectors, hours worked, labour force participation and unemployment rates.

Dataset Level Error Notes: Misc: Note: In 2006, the key improvements to the survey involve changes to the population estimates used by the sample survey in the estimation process. Since the LFS is a sample survey (rather than a census), the sample results need to be multiplied by a factor (or "weight") to represent the entire target population. In the case of the LFS, the target population is the civilian population 15 and older living off-reserve in the ten provinces. The survey weights are thus products of an estimate of the population. This population estimate used by the LFS is a projection of the 2001 Census, projected using the most current information on births, deaths, immigration and emigration. To create the LFS estimates, population data for age/sex groups are created. As well, provincial and sub-provincial population estimates are produced on a monthly basis. It is normal for surveys to update to new population estimates when new demographic information becomes available. Over the last seven years, this is the third time the LFS has updated the population estimate used in the weighting process. This population revision is the smallest of the three, and involves minimal change on the data. It impacts the data from July 2001 to December 2005. Aside from a switch to new population estimates, improvements to the estimates for the public and private sector for the January 1987 to June 1999 period are also being introduced with this revision. Although the public and private sector data (and some associated industries) are the most affected, the improvement required a change to the survey weights and therefore all data for the January 1987 to June 1999 period are impacted. Finally, the geographic coding of several small Census Agglomerations (CA) have been updated historically from 1996 urban centre boundaries to 2001 CA boundaries. This affects data from January 1987 to December 2004. More information can be found in the Improvements in 2006 to the Labour Force Survey (LFS) document below.
