https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/12/staff-working-paper-2019-49/
The number of workers who hold more than one job (a.k.a. multiple jobholders) has increased recently in Canada. While this seems to echo the view that non-standard work arrangements are becoming pervasive, the increase has in fact been trivial compared with the long-run rise of multiple jobholding that has occurred since the mid-1970s.2019-12-19T13:34:31+00:00enOn the Evolution of Multiple Jobholding in Canada2019-12-19Econometric and statistical methodsLabour marketsStaff Working Paper 2019-49https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/swp2019-49.pdfOn the Evolution of Multiple Jobholding in CanadaOlena KostyshynaEtienne LaléDecember 2019EE2E24JJ2J21J22J6J60The Intergenerational Correlation of Employment: Is There a Role for Work Culture?
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/09/staff-working-paper-2019-33/
We document a substantial positive correlation of employment status between mothers and their children in the United States, linking data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) and the NLSY79 Children and Young Adults. After controlling for ability, education and wealth, a one-year increase in a mother’s employment is associated with six weeks more employment of her child on average.2019-09-05T13:25:53+00:00enThe Intergenerational Correlation of Employment: Is There a Role for Work Culture?2019-09-05Econometric and statistical methodsEconomic modelsLabour marketsStaff Working Paper 2019-33https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/swp2019-33.pdfThe Intergenerational Correlation of Employment: Is There a Role for Work Culture?Gabriela GalassiDavid KollLukas MayrSeptember 2019EE2E24JJ2J21J22J6J62Online Job Seekers in Canada: What Can We Learn from Bing Job Queries?

Labour markets in Canada and around the world are evolving rapidly with the digital economy. Traditional data are adapting gradually but are not yet able to provide timely information on this evolution.2019-06-07T06:00:20+00:00enOnline Job Seekers in Canada: What Can We Learn from Bing Job Queries?2019-06-07Potential Output in Canada: 2019 Reassessment
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/04/staff-analytical-note-2019-10/
Potential output is expected to grow on average at 1.8 per cent over 2019–21 and at 1.9 per cent in 2022. While the contribution of trend labour input to potential output growth is expected to decrease between 2019 and 2022, the contribution of trend labour productivity is projected to increase.2019-04-17T11:03:16+00:00enPotential Output in Canada: 2019 Reassessment2019-04-17The Trend Unemployment Rate in Canada: Searching for the Unobservable
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/03/staff-working-paper-2019-13/
In this paper, we assess several methods that have been used to measure the Canadian trend unemployment rate (TUR). We also consider improvements and extensions to some existing methods.2019-03-29T16:16:07+00:00enThe Trend Unemployment Rate in Canada: Searching for the Unobservable2019-03-29Business fluctuations and cyclesEconomic modelsInflation and pricesLabour marketsStaff Working Paper 2019-13https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/swp2019-13.pdfThe Trend Unemployment Rate in Canada: Searching for the UnobservableDany BrouilletteMarie-Noëlle RobitailleLaurence Savoie-ChabotPierre St-AmantBassirou GueyeElise NelsonMarch 2019CC5C52C53EE2E24E27The Size and Characteristics of Informal (“Gig”) Work in Canada
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/02/staff-analytical-note-2019-6/
Underlying wage growth has fallen short of what would be consistent with an economy operating with little or no slack. While many factors could explain this weakness, the availability of additional labour resources from informal (“gig”) work—not fully captured in standard measures of employment and hours worked—may play a role.2019-02-21T15:25:45+00:00enThe Size and Characteristics of Informal (“Gig”) Work in Canada2019-02-21The State of Labour Market Churn in Canada
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/01/staff-analytical-note-2019-4/
The literature highlights that labour market churn, including job-to-job transitions, is a key element of wage growth. Using microdata from the Labour Force Survey, we compute measures of labour market churn and compare these with pre-crisis averages to assess implications for wage growth.2019-01-30T09:45:54+00:00enThe State of Labour Market Churn in Canada2019-01-30
