Population with a university degree in NB / Historic data

Question

We are looking for the number of people with a university degree in New Brunswick, yearly, for the following periods:

• 1977 to 1980
• 1982 to 1985
• 1987 to 1989

We found the stats for 1976, 1981 and 1986 in Historical statistics of New Brunswick (Cat. # 11-X-526).

The researcher has the stats for 1990-2014 from CANSIM Table 2820004.

Answer

How about using the Labour Force Historical Review, which contains a file titled:
Labour force estimates by education (based on old definition), age group, sex, Canada, province, annual average.
This covers the years 1976 to 1989. I’ve attached the Beyond 20/20 file that includes these statistics. Just drag and drop the dimensions to get the view you want.
