Future of Work
A curated resource of recent research on trends shaping Canada's labor market.
From May 26 to June 8, Statistics Canada administered a crowdsourcing survey to gain immediate feedback on the impacts of COVID-19. Participants included over 1,000 Indigenous and 35,000 non-Indigenous Canadians. Compared to non-Indigenous respondents, Indigenous participants more frequently expressed lower levels of trust across all levels of government and public health authorities. They also reported that COVID-19 had a strong or moderate impact on their ability to meet their financial obligations. Of those who reported this financial impact, 44% disclosed having applied for federal income support, compared to 50% of non-Indigenous respondents.
