Federal Employment Equity Report Card
The government ministry of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada released its annual report under the Employment Equity Act for the period 2003-2004.
It summarizes the status of the four groups designated by the Act - women, aboriginal people, persons with disabilities, and visible minorities - as reported by 460 employers in the federally regulated economic sectors of banking, transportation, communication, as well as the federal public service, and Crown Corporations.
Few surprises to announce: the average full-time salary for men in the federally regulated private sector is $62,600, compared to $48,600 for women, with women clustered in clerical and retail positions.
Interestingly, visible minorities have been able to improve their relative situation, with a 12.7% employment share in the federally regulated private sector, which is greater than their availability in the labour market.
