June 2011 online edition

The June 2011 online edition of Perspectives on Labour and Income, released today, features two items.

"Immigrants in self-employment" looks at how self-employed immigrants differ from their non-immigrant counterparts across a number of personal and job characteristics. It also compares the reasons immigrants and non-immigrants report for entering and staying in self-employment.

"The income of immigrants who pursue postsecondary education in Canada" examines a cohort of immigrants who were between 25 and 44 years of age when they arrived in Canada in 1998 and 1999. Changes in their employment income over an eight-year period are studied based on whether these individuals pursued postsecondary education in Canada.

The June 2011 online edition of Perspectives on Labour and Income, Vol. 23, no. 3 (75-001-X, free), is now available from the Key resource module of our website under Publications.
