Census Information

Conducted every five years, the census provides data at national, provincial, municipal and regional district levels.

Specific information gathered in the following categories can assist employers in finding new employees and can also help workers understand where the best job prospects can be found:

• population
• labour and income
• employment
• unemployment
• earnings
• occupations
• education level attained
• immigration
• geography
  

You’ll also find information on social statistics, which provides insight into areas such as ethnic origins, women in the labour force, mobility and migration, families and marital status, home ownership and more.

The most recent census was completed in May 2011.
