Turnover rates by industry

Question

A grad student here is looking for 2005 and 2006 annual turnover rates for two industries (I'm still getting clarification about what industries she's after). She's defining turnover rate (or attrition) as "the rate employees separate/leave an organization voluntarily (or involuntarily). Usually, it's calculated by number of terminations divided by total number of employees in an organization."

I realize I can probably concoct the data by manipulating the LFS, but was hoping to find something pre-digested, as it were.

Answer

This research might help the student find sources:

The division has also suggested using the Labour Force Survey.
