Participation Rate

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 a job). The data provided by Statistics Canada is monthly and deseasonalized.; this eliminates the impact of seasonal variations and makes it possible to compare data through the year.
