The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is the source of Canada's official unemployment rate and one of the primary sources of labour market information for Canadians and policy makers. Statistics Canada's Centre for Labour Market Information is undertaking a series of studies to better understand respondent experience with the LFS. These studies are conducted in collaboration with the Privy Council Office's Impact and Innovation Unit and will include one-on-one and group discussions with individuals who have recently completed their participation in the LFS.
The engagement activity gathered feedback from those who had been selected to participate in the LFS to better understand their motivations for participation, barriers to timely participation and reactions to LFS communications. Topics of discussion included trust in Statistics Canada, the clarity and tone of communication materials, and the usability of different survey completion modes. The findings will inform upcoming initiatives to enhance respondent experiences and lay the groundwork for future experiments and interventions aimed at improving survey operations.
