> The Job Bank website pulls from tax filing data so is going to be pretty reflective of real positions
The data here is completely survey-based, not based on tax filing.
The primary source is Statistics Canada's Labour Force Survey.
This survey is conducted using a sample of respondents and data may be suppressed for reasons of confidentiality or data quality, but it is the most inclusive, timely and unbiased source of wage data by occupational group.
When the Labour Force Survey data is not available, other sources are considered, including:
Employment and Social Development Canada program data such as Employment Insurance program survey data
The Census
Provincial and territorial surveys and administrative data
Other organizations administrative data, such as the Canadian Institute for Health Information and the Canadian Medical Association
Other sources when applicable
First published in November 2022, Small Area Estimations developed by Statistics Canada were added as a new data source.
