1. « Population » in the table above refers to « Population 15+ ». The figures in the table above for Population , Labour Force, Employment and Unemployment are in thousands
2. « Not in Labour Force » = « Population
15+ » - « Labour force » = 907.2 – 641.9 which is 265.3
3.
Based on « Ottawa’s Hidden
Workforce » , if we assume 38% of
« Not in Labour Force »
as actually UNEMPLOYED in real terms, this means A FURTHER 100.8 THOUSANDS ACTUALLY
UNEMPLOYED.
If we assume 6.2% of « Employed »
as actually UNDER-EMPLOYED in real terms, this means A FURTHER 16.4
THOUSANDS ACTUALLY UNDER-EMPLOYED
Hence total UNEMPLOYED or
UNDER-EMPLOYED = 43.7 + 100.8 + 16.4 = 160.9 (thousands)
and at least 144.5 (thousands)
UNEMPLOYED
