Aboriginal People's Survey 2006

Question

I have a researcher who wants to know the proportion of aboriginal versus non-aboriginal people aged 25-34 who have completed post-secondary education. This is easily obtainable at the provincial level but the researcher would like this info by city.

Answer

The following 2006 Census topic tabulation may be of interest to your client. It includes data for Census Metropolitan Areas (CMA) and Census Agglomerations (CAs). A similar table with data for Census Subdivisions may be available as a semi-custom product for a fee. If this is of interest to your client, we would be pleased to refer you to an Account Executive who could confirm what type of table could be produced and at what cost.

Labour Force Activity (8), Highest Certificate, Diploma or Degree (14), Aboriginal Identity (8), Age Groups (12A) and Sex (3) for the Population 15 Years and Over of Canada, Provinces, Territories, Census Metropolitan Areas and Census Agglomerations, 2006 Census - 20% Sample Data  (97-559-XCB2006019)
