Question
A researcher is interested in data from 3 voluntary questions added to the May 2011 LFS at the request of Elections Canada, but those variables do not appear to be included in odesi, Equinox, or DLI-Nesstar copies of the dataset. I haven’t actually downloaded it from EFT yet, but should I be looking somewhere else for these variables?
Here’s the source of information about the inclusion of these questions: <http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/75-001-x/2012001/article/11629-eng.htm#source>
Answer
The 3 voluntary questions added to the May 2011 LFS are available on the DLI EFT. They are not present on the PUMF, but rather we received tables.
On the EFT site:
