Employment Profile of English Speakers in Québec
|
| Abstract |
This report indicates, following a review of available data on the employment status of English speakers in Quebec — who represent 13.8 percent of Quebec’s population and 14.3percent of its labour force — that they face considerable challenges in the labour market. English speakers in most regions of Quebec have higher unemployment rates and lower after-tax median incomes compared to French speakers, who represent 85.3 percent of the population. English speakers have an unemployment rate of 8.9 percent. This is 2 percent higher than the unemployment rate of French speakers (6.9 percent) and is also higher than the provincial unemployment rate (7.2 percent). Out of the 17 administrative regions in Quebec, 15 are characterized by a higher unemployment rate for English speakers compared to French speakers. Quebec’s youth aged 15-24 are the age group with the highest unemployment rate, irrespective of linguistic identity. However, in Quebec as a whole, French-speaking youth have an unemployment rate of 11.9 percent while English-speaking youth have an unemployment rate of 16.3 percent.
