Coverage, symbols, caveats and source file

Coverage. 516 NOC 2021 occupation groups for Canada: 515 with a local figure, 0 shown by Job Bank only with a larger area’s figure, 1 not published.

Not published No value released for this cell; a gap, never zero.

Job Bank leaves a cell empty when it cannot publish a reliable wage. This site shows “Not published”, never zero.
Where Job Bank shows an area with a larger area’s wage, this site says “Larger-area figure only” and does not present it as a local wage.
Hourly and annual figures are never mixed or compared. See the methodology.
