1. Due to small numbers for Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, education and employment status were not combined. Note: "Without employment" refers to all persons who did not have employment including those who are unemployed, inactive and on disability. "Diploma" refers to a high school diploma or higher. Ontario and the Correctional Service of Canada are excluded from this table due to insufficient data on education level and employment reported to the Integrated Correctional Services Survey. Ratios are based on unrounded rates. Source: Statistics Canada, Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics, Integrated Correctional Services Survey and 2006 Census of Population. |
