Permanent layoff rates in Canada, 1978 to 2016 / by René Morissette and Hanqing Qiu.CS11-626/2020-108E-PDF

"This article examines the evolution of layoff rates in Canada from 1978 to 2016, the last year for which data on permanent layoffs are currently available. The analysis uses Statistics Canada's Longitudinal Worker File and focuses on employees aged 25 to 64. The study shows that prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, permanent layoff rates did not trend upward in Canada. The study also finds that, in any given year, the majority of permanent layoffs in the commercial sector do not come from mass layoffs. This finding should be kept in mind as new reports of job losses emerge during and after the COVID-19 pandemic"--Page 1.
