ANALYZING NEWCOMER LABOUR MARKET OUTCOMES BY OCCUPATIONS

This study delves into over 500 occupations listed in the National Occupational Code, analyzing them by occupational categories and skill levels. It explores employment trends, sector/skill frameworks, and the distribution of jobs by skill categories in Toronto and the rest of Ontario between 1991 and 2009. The research highlights how the shape of labor market demand influences job availability, with different outcomes for immigrants and newcomers, particularly in Toronto. The distribution of visible minority groups across occupations is also examined.
