A curated resource of recent research on trends shaping Canada's labour market.
Using the Labour Force Survey (LFS) for March to August 2020, this paper examines how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted labour market conditions among Indigenous people living off reserve. While the initial impacts of the pandemic were similar among Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, recovery has been slower for Indigenous people. Particularly for Indigenous women, employment levels have remained further from their pre-pandemic levels than for Indigenous men. The employment rate of Indigenous women further declined between June and August 2020, while recovery occurred for Indigenous men during that period.
