Historic rates of adjustment in prairie farm employment and some international comparisons / by J. L. Serjak.: EC22-3/1988-356E-PDF

"In this paper we examine the rates of adjustment in the farm employment in the prairie provinces as they occurred over the last two and a half decades and compare them with Canada and other major crop producing and exporting countries. Since 1961 farm employment in the Prairies diminished by almost 40 per cent. This adjustment in farm employment is expected to continue in the future as our projections, based on the analysis of the historic trends, suggest that the farmers will continue to leave farming"--Abstract, p. iii.
