Source: Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer, Treasury Board Secretariat. Notes: The information provided is for the Core Public Administration only. The figure includes all employment tenures, active employees only (i.e. employees on leave without pay are excluded) and it is based on effective employment classification (i.e. acting appointments included). The information provided is based on March 31st data. To provide a true picture of growth and share of occupations historically, this analysis excludes the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), all CRA's predecessors and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The CRA was a part of the Core Public Administration until 1999, after which it became a separate employer. The CBSA was created in 2003 as part of the Core Public Administration; a majority of its employees were transferred from the CRA. The occupational groups are: Administrative Services (AS); Program Administration (PM); Computer Systems (CS); Economics & Social Science Services (EC); and Executive (EX). Please note that the data for 2012 presented in this figure reflects the conversion of the Economics, Sociology & Statistics (ES) and the Social Science Support (SI) occupational groups to the EC occupational group. The official conversion took place on June 22nd, 2009. For consistency, historical EC numbers combine ES and SI occupational groups. |
