Statistics Canada will start including details about people's race in its monthly employment data in a bid to reflect more accurately the harm done by the coronavirus outbreak, the agency said.
The additional information will first be included in the jobs report for July, which is due to be released on August 7.
“Statistics Canada recognises that the social, economic and labour market impacts of Covid-19 have not been equally felt by all Canadians,” spokesman Martin Magnan said via email.
