Manufacturing jobs:
This graph shows the total
number of jobs occupied in the manufacturing sector.
The quarterly data provided by
the Conference Board of Canada is deseasonalized to eliminate the
impact of seasonal variations and make it possible to compare data
throughout the year.
This data is also annualized. Annualizing quarterly data
(multiplying it by four) makes it possible to compare quarterly
performance with the annual result.
This graph also indicates the weight of the manufacturing sector
relative to total employment. This result is obtained by dividing
the number of manufacturing jobs by the total number of jobs.
