The Human Resources Module (HRM) of the Canadian Economy is a new product that depicts annual estimates of jobs, hours worked, and wages and salaries consistent with the System of National Accounts concepts, by characteristics of the employees holding those jobs. These characteristics include age group, gender, education level, and immigration status. Statistics Canada has published HRM estimates for a number of sectors of the Canadian economy, including the tourism, non-profit organizations and natural resources sectors. This release represents the first publication of economy-wide HRM estimates. This integrated approach to generating fully coherent sector benchmarks provides a total economy point of reference against which sector-specific HRMs can be compared. Monthly statistics on employment by characteristic are available from the Labour Force Survey and should be consulted for current economy-wide trends.
