Occupations are assessed numerically using a variety of labour market indicators such as changes in employment, unemployment rates, wages, hours worked, Employment Insurance beneficiaries, job vacancies, and forecasted job due to economic growth and retirements. Other sources of labour market intelligence that are considered are sector studies, survey results, and consultations with sector specialists.
