Ethnicity, Language and Immigration Thematic Series – Portrait of English-Language Workers in Quebec’s Agriculture and Agri-Food Industries, 2011
|
Abstract |
A descriptive socioeconomic and linguistic portrait of workers in the agricultural and agri-food sectors in Quebec in 2011 whose first official language spoken is English. According to the author, in 2011 there were 69,120 workers aged 15 and over in Quebec's agricultural sector, 5.9 percent of whom were English-language workers (4,045 workers). While the agriculture sector was concentrated mainly in the Montérégie, Chaudière-Appalaches, and Centre-du-Québec regions of Quebec, English-language agricultural workers were primarily found in other regions: Estrie (665 English-language agricultural workers, or 16.4 percent of English-language workers in Quebec), Montérégie (1,475 English-language agricultural workers, or 36.5 percent of English-language workers in Quebec), Montreal–Laval (580 English-language agricultural workers, or 14.3 percent of English-language workers in Quebec), Laurentides (370 English-language agricultural workers, or 9.1 percent of English-language workers in Quebec), and Outaouais (585 English-language agricultural workers, or 14.5 percent of English-language workers in Quebec). With the exception of the Montérégie region, the geographic distribution of Quebec's English-language population of agricultural workers differs from the distribution of the province's entire population of agricultural workers.
