Help Improve the Labour Force Survey Experience
Official title: Share your experiences with the Labour Force Survey
Statistics Canada wants to hear from people who've completed the Labour Force Survey. They're studying what motivates participation, what gets in the way, and how clear their communications are. The goal? Make the survey easier and more pleasant to complete.
Why This Matters
Ever been selected for the Labour Force Survey? This is your chance to say what worked and what didn't. Your feedback could make the experience smoother for the millions of Canadians surveyed each year. The LFS produces Canada's unemployment rate—data that shapes economic policy.
What Could Change
Statistics Canada may redesign how they communicate with survey participants. Invitation letters, reminder notices, and online survey interfaces could all be updated. They might also test new approaches to boost response rates and reduce the burden on households.
