Census Data: Income by Educational Attainment

Question

I am new to this service, so any help on the following will be greatly appreciated. I have a student looking for 2006 census data that will cover all of the following:

• Sex (M/F)
• Individual ages (15, 16, 17, – 64)
• Employment (including self-employment)
• Educational level
• Individual income

Answer
The following 2006 Census topic-based tabulations may help the student.

Additional topic based tabulations are available under: http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2006/dp-pd/tbt/index-eng.cfm and detailed definitions of 2006 Census concepts are available in the 2006 Census dictionary (http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2006/ref/dict/index-eng.cfm).

The student could also consider using the 2006 Census public use microdata file (PUMF) but it won't contain data for individual ages (these aren't available for confidentiality reasons), only age groups. The PUMF is available on the DLI FTP site and can be used with a statistical analysis application such as SPSS or SAS. It can also be consulted on the Statistics Canada Nesstar site at www62.statcan.ca

Additional data may be available on a cost recovery basis. If this is of interest to the student, I would be happy to refer you to an Account Executive in our Halifax regional office who can confirm what tables can be produced on a custom basis and provide a cost estimate for the tables (the minimum cost for semi-custom census products is $305 and custom census tabulations start at $1115).

Census Tables by Occupation

Question

In the 2001 Census the following table was released by Census tract:

Occupation - 2001 National Occupational Classification for Statistics (60), Age Groups (10) and Sex (3) for Labour Force 15 Years and Over (20% sample data) 95F0384XCB01002.

Am I correct that NO tables that include occupation were released for 2006 at the Census Tract level? If you have a handy explanation I can pass on to the student, it would be nice. It does seem odd, as it would appear this would be a popular table.

Answer

The 2006 Census topic-based tabulations on occupation don't seem to include tables with data at the Census Tract level but labour force by sex by occupation at the Census Tract level are available in the 2006 Census complete cumulative profile: http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2006/dp-pd/prof/rel/Lp-eng.cfm?LANG=E&APATH=3&DETAIL=0&DIM=0&FL=A&FREE=0&GC=0&GID=0&GK=0&GRP=1&PID=0&PRID=0&PTYPE=89103&S=0&SHOWALL=0&SUB=0&Temporal=2006&THEME=81&VID=0&VNAMEE=&VNAMEF=

For 2006 these data would unfortunately only be available as a custom table. If this is of interest to the student, I will refer you to an Account-Executive in our Montreal Regional Office who can give you a cost estimate for such a table.

Our census contacts have looked into why this table wasn't produced for 2006 and sent us this explanation: "There are a few reasons why this table was not reproduced for 2006. First, a cross-tabulation this size at the CT level had a lot of empty cells, so this table would have come under review from a data perspective. Also the content for the entire 2006 Census dissemination cycle was reviewed and streamlined across all topics. It was decided not to apply the standard geographic hierarchies to the basic cross-tabulations and so the CT level was not applied to all tables."

I hope that this information is helpful. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
