Hours worked and labour compensation by type of worker and industry [36100209]

The table provides data that are used by the Canadian Productivity Accounts (CPA) to estimate labour input for the multifactor productivity growth measures. To estimate labour input, the CPAs generate time series data on hours worked and labour compensation, cross-classified workers by sex, age, educational attainment and class of workers (paid vs. self-employed workers). Labour input is estimated as a weighted sum of hours worked using labour compensation as weights across different categories of workers. The measure takes into account the effect of the compositional shifts of hours worked towards more educated and more experienced workers on labour input. A description of the method used to derive the measure is offered online in the publication The Canadian Productivity Review: "User Guide for Statistics Canada's Annual Multifactor Productivity Program" (15-206-XIE2007014, free), available from the Publications module of our website. The number of hours worked in all jobs is the number of all jobs times the annual average hours worked in all jobs. According to the retained definition, hours worked means the total number of hours that a person spends working, whether paid or not. In general, this includes regular and overtime hours, breaks, travel time, training in the workplace and time lost in brief work stoppages where workers remain at their posts. On the other hand, time lost due to strikes, lockouts, annual vacation, public holidays, sick leave, maternity leave or leave for personal needs are not included in total hours worked. Labour compensation consists of all payments in cash or in kind made by domestic producers to workers for services rendered - in other words, total payroll. It includes the salaries and supplementary labour income of paid workers, plus an imputed labour income of self-employed workers. Those workers are unincorporated working owners, self-employed persons who do not have a business and persons working in a family business without pay. Those are the workers whose base pay is calculated at an hourly rate, or on the basis of a fixed amount for a period of at least a week, or in the form of sales commission, piece rates, mileage allowances and so on. Moreover, paid workers are any person drawing pay for services rendered or for paid absences and for whom the employer must complete a Canada Revenue Agency T-4 supplementary form.
