This public use microdata file contains non-aggregated data for a wide variety of variables collected from the Labour Force Survey. The data have been modified to ensure that no individual or business is directly or indirectly identified. This product is for users who prefer to do their own analysis by focusing on specific subgroups in the population or by cross-classifying variables that are not in our catalogued products.<\/p>\n<p>Contact information<\/p>\n<p>For more information, or to enquire about the concepts, methods or data quality of this release, contact us (toll-free 1-800-263-1136; 514-283-8300; <a href=\"https:\/\/www150.statcan.gc.ca\/n1\/daily-quotidien\/260710\/mailto:infostats@statcan.gc.ca\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">infostats@statcan.gc.ca<\/a>) or Media Relations (<a href=\"https:\/\/www150.statcan.gc.ca\/n1\/daily-quotidien\/260710\/mailto:statcan.mediahotline-ligneinfomedias.statcan@statcan.gc.ca\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">statcan.mediahotline-ligneinfomedias.statcan@statcan.gc.ca<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; Released:\u00a02026-07-10 &#13; &#13; Select geography &#13; Canada&#13; Newfoundland and Labrador&#13; Prince Edward Island&#13; Nova Scotia&#13;&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":202767,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[45,49,48],"class_list":["post-792917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-ca","tag-canada"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/792917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=792917"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/792917\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/202767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=792917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=792917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=792917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
