Notes: These odd ratios come from a single regression but the odd ratios are presented in separate columns to improve readability. Includes paid workers aged 25 to 64 who reported a postsecondary credential in a field of study that would normally lead to work in one of the targeted occupations identified by the FCR Program at HRSDC.
