| – The LFS estimates for administrative regions, seasonally adjusted by the ISQ, are published as three-month moving averages to smooth out irregular fluctuations due to small sample sizes.

| – Quarterly and annual values are calculated from monthly data rather than moving averages. Annual values are calculated from non-seasonally adjusted monthly data. | ||||||||||||
| – Since March 2020, LFS results must be interpreted with caution, given the decrease in the survey response rate, which is still not back to its pre-pandemic level. | ||||||||||||
