Methodology
The participation rate is the
percentage of the total number of people of labour-force age (15
years and over) that is in the labour force (either working or
looking for work).
The data provided by Statistics Canada is monthly and
deseasonalized; this eliminates the impact of seasonal variations
and makes it possible to compare data throughout the
year.
