Employment Rates for Off-Reserve Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal People, Alberta

This Alberta Official Statistic describes employment rates for off-reserve Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal people living in Alberta for the period 2003-2014. The Employment Rate is a measure of the proportion of the working age population (15 years of age and over) who are employed. The Labour Force Survey provides estimates of employment and unemployment which are among the most timely and important measures of performance of the Canadian economy. In 2004, a question was added in the LFS for the western provinces to differentiate off-reserve Aboriginal people in the working age population.
