Community Dashboard: Male unemployment rate
Rationale and analysis
How we measure this data
As reported by Statistics Canada with a monthly frequency using a three-month moving average, unadjusted for seasonality. The Labour Force data is reported as an accumulation of neighbouring municipalities around one central municipality. For the employment rate it is aggragated as St. Catharines-Niagara CMA, excluding Grimbsy and West Lincoln.
Prior-year values are averages of monthly values while current-year values are reported on a monthly basis as per data availability.
Progress and advancements
Niagara's February 2023 male unemployment rate increased to 5.1%, which is slightly higher in comparison to Toronto's male unemployement rate at 4.9%.
About this indicator
