Interpreting population totals from the Labour Force Survey.: CS75-005/2024-4E-PDF
"The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a monthly survey of Canadian households carried out by Statistics Canada. The main objective of the LFS is to classify the working-age population into three mutually exclusive groups based on their labour force status (employed, unemployed and out of the labour force) to produce key monthly labour market indicators, such as the employment and unemployment rates. … This note provides information about population totals in the LFS, including details on who is included in the survey target population, and a description of the methodology used to produce these monthly population totals. The note also provides guidance on how to interpret population statistics in the LFS, and discusses the extent to which the LFS can be used to examine disaggregated labour market indicators for new immigrants and nonpermanent residents (NPRs), two groups whose population has increased notably in recent years"--Page 3.
