| Note: Income group data represents the number of persons 15 years of age or older by total population, and by the non-disabled and disabled populations. Employment income is paid employment, i.e. wages and salaries, and self-employment (including loss). Employment income represents taxation year 2005 (2006). The sum of values for each category may differ from the total due to rounding. Source: Statistics Canada, Participation and Activity Limitation Survey, 2006 |
