Not applicable
Part B - Detailed definition:
Persons who, during the week (Sunday to Saturday) prior to Census Day (May 16, 2006), were employed and the unemployed who had last worked for pay or in self‑employment in either 2005 or 2006.
| Experienced labour force = | Employed | + (Unemployed who last worked in 2005) + (Unemployed who last worked in 2006) |
The experienced labour force can also be derived by excluding from the labour force those unemployed persons 15 years of age and over who have never worked or who had last worked prior to January 1, 2005 only.
