Section 4 Profile of labour force and farm operators by sex for selected Agriculture–Population variables

Canada

Table 4.2
Profile of labour force and farm operators by sex for selected Agriculture–Population variables – Total in the labour force, self-employed in the labour force, all farm operators, farm operators with an agricultural occupation and farm operators with a non-agricultural occupation by the farm operator’s sex and marital status, census years 2006 and 2001

  • 0true zero or a value rounded to zero
Notes:
  1. The data for the sex variables in this table are derived from Agriculture–Population Linkage 20% sample data, which have been used to derive estimates for the entire population. These data will differ from corresponding data in the Farm Data and Farm Operator Data release tables, which were based on data collected for all farms.
  2. This is a count of distinct operators; hence, operators of two or more separate farms were included only once in the total. The data for the variable "total number of farm operators" in this table are derived from Agriculture–Population Linkage 20% sample data, which have been used to derive estimates for the entire population. These data will differ from corresponding data in the Farm Data and Farm Operator Data release tables, which were based on data collected for all farms.

These data will differ from corresponding data in the Farm Data and Farm Operator Data release tables, which were based on data collected for all farms.
  2. This is a count of distinct operators; hence, operators of two or more separate farms were included only once in the total.
