How current is BC Work Futures statistical data?
The primary source for detailed employment information in the Work Futures profiles is the Census of Canada, which is conducted by Statistics Canada every five years. Data from Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey has also been used. Employment projections from the COPS (Canadian Occupational Projection System) BC Unique Scenario at http://www.aved.gov.bc.ca/labourmarketinfo/reports/COPS_BC_Unique_Scenario_2007-2017%20.pdf were used for medium-term provincial employment trends.
