The Labour Force Distribution (LFD) maps are derived from the CanEcumene 2.0 Geodatabase using custom tabulations of census-based labour force data. These LFD maps were calculated for each of the five major natural resource sectors in Canada: Forestry, Fisheries, Agriculture, Minerals, and Petroleum and Coal. The measure used is the labour force of each sector as a proportion of the goods-producing sectors in the economy. Labour force proportions were first calculated at the individual community level, and then interpolated on a regional level using GIS (see Eddy et. al. 2020 for more detail). In effect, these maps show the strong importance of Canada’s natural resource sectors in various regions of the country. The darker the tone in each map indicates a region’s higher degree of dependency on a given sector for their economic livelihood.

This dataset includes commonly used socio-economic indicators by CSD (census subdivision). The feature classes were created from geosptial boundary files and tabular data related to the 2016 Census of Canada, Statistics Canada. The topics included are: Age groups and sex, core housing needs, dwelling types, Education, labour force, immigration, Income, knowledge of languages, lone parent family, mobility, housing tenure and visible minorities. This does not constitute an endorsement by Statistics Canada of this product.

This directory contains Labour Force Distribution (LFD) rasters for Natural Resource Sectors generated from data provided in the CanEcumene 3.0 geodatabase. Each raster contains the proportion of employment(e) of either All Sectors (A) or Base Sectors (B). Base Sectors = all NR Sectors + Utilities + Manufacturing (minus-NR sectors primary sector manufacturing - e.g. forest, minerals, petroleum products). Here is the liste of each economic sector: AGR - Agriculture, ELC - Electricity, FIS - Fishery FOR - Forestry, MIN - Minerals, PET - Petroleum, ONR - Other Natural Resources (mostly support industries for Minerals and Petroleum - undifferentiated), NRS - All Natural Resource Sectors (the Total for all NR Sectors). In effect, these maps show the strong importance of Canada’s natural resource sectors in various regions of the country. The darker the tone in each map indicates a region’s higher degree of dependency on a given sector for their economic livelihood. **This third party metadata element follows the Spatio Temporal Asset Catalog (STAC) specification.**

The Community Well-Being (CWB) Index is a method of assessing socio-economic well-being in Canadian communities. Various indicators of socio-economic well-being, including education, labour force activity, income and housing, are derived from Statistics Canada's Census of Population and combined to give each community a well-being "score". These scores are used to compare well-being across First Nations and Inuit communities with well-being in other Canadian communities. Indicator values may be missing for a community because of non-participation in the census, inadequate data quality, or insufficient population size.
