Labour Force Survey Notes The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a household survey carried out monthly by Statistics Canada. employment rate is the number of employed people as a percentage of the population aged 15+. unemployment rate is the number of unemployed people as a percentage of the labour force (employed and unemployed and looking for work). participation rate is the number in the labour force as a percentage of the population. Full-time employment is the number of persons who working 30 hours+ per week at their main job. All estimates are seasonally adjusted, unless otherwise specified. This removes seasonal and calendar effects allowing for comparisons between time periods. The LFS estimates are based on a sample and are there- fore subject to sampling variability. http://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p2SV.pl?
