Note(s):
Statistics Canada is monitoring the impact of using more administrative data in Survey of Employment, Payrolls and Hours. In the interim, users are reminded that employment data from SEPH are best used in the context of longer time periods and for the distribution of industrial employment. Monthly data for fixed-weighted average hourly earnings, when presented in this table, are unadjusted for seasonality.
