Note 3.

Labour Force Survey (LFS) estimates for Canada are derived using LFS results from the provinces. LFS results for the territories are not included in the national estimates. Difficulties exist with respect to reaching small communities in the territories, and there are areas that are excluded. As well, since the sample design, rotation pattern and reliability criteria are different from those in the 10 provinces, estimates for the territories are not included with the provincial totals, but are calculated and reported separately.

Notes: As of January 2015, Labour Force Survey (LFS) estimates reflect population counts based on the 2011 Census. LFS data for 2001 through 2014 have been revised based on these modifications. For more information, please see Improvements to the Labour Force Survey (LFS): The 2015 Revisions of the Labour Force Survey (LFS), Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 71F0031X.
Caution should be exercised in interpreting the provincial/territorial ratios and differences in ratios between provinces/territories and over time, as small estimates may present fairly high sampling variability. Estimates for small geographic areas, for small age-groups or for cross-classified variables will be associated with larger variability.
For a brief description of this indicator, including the methodology, please see the Handbook for the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program.
