Unemployment rate falls for Black Canadians but remains higher than the average
Note(s):
Estimates are for the population aged 15 to 69 and are not seasonally adjusted. Due to the sample size of the Labour Force Survey Supplement, high quality data are only available for the seven largest population groups designated as visible minorities. The difference between some estimates may not be statistically significant. Estimates for the Latin American population in August and September and for the Southeast Asian population in September have a coefficient of variation greater than 16.5% and should be used with caution.
