This product presents current monthly labour market information. Estimates are based on a combination of different sources: a census of administrative records provided by Canada Revenue Agency, data  from Statistics Canada‘s Public Institutions Division on public administration services, and also data from a small sample survey questionnaire to businesses.

The tabulations mainly consist of current monthly estimates. The major variables are employment, average weekly and hourly earnings, average weekly hours, and more, for over 300 industries.

Data are provided at the national and provincial/territorial levels.

Also included are quarterly and annual estimates by enterprise size of employment. The data by size of employment are available for employment, average weekly earnings and average weekly hours. A survey overview of the program is also included.
