Employment equity legislation is becoming more prevalent in Canadian
labour markets, yet — other than broad availability numbers — the
labour market experiencesof designated groups have not been well documented.
Using the National Graduates Survey of 1992, this report profiles the
early labour market experiences ofvisible minorities, Aboriginal peoples
and persons with disabilities who graduated from Canadian universities
and community colleges in 1990.
In general, we find thatthe earnings of designated group members are
very similar to the earnings of their classmates. However, we also find
that members of these groups are more likely tobe unemployed and are
less likely to participate in the labour force than others in their
class.
