• Of all employees with disabilities, 95.5  percent have indeterminate employment status. This is higher than the rate of 92  percent for all employees.

Geography

• Of employees with disabilities, 42 percent work in the National Capital Region, the same percentage as for all employees.

Salary

The percentage of employees with disabilities at or below the salary level identified are as follows:

• 47 percent earn under $55,000 annually compared with only 41 percent of all employees
• 71 percent earn under $70,000 annually compared to 69 percent of all employees
• 93 percent earn under $95,000 annually compared to 92 percent of all employees

Hiring

• Of persons with disabilities recruited into the Public Service in 2006–2007, 43 percent were hired into indeterminate positions. This continues the upward trend over the last five years and represents an increase of 15.8 percent from five years ago.
• The Administrative Support and Administrative and Foreign Service categories continue to be the main points of entry for persons with disabilities at 36 percent and 35 percent respectively.
• Persons with disabilities represent 2.8  percent of all new hires into the Public Service. This share of new hires has been below the workforce availability estimate as determined by the 2001 PALS for the last five years.

Promotions

• Persons with disabilities received 5.0  percent of all promotions in the Public Service. This level of promotion has been consistent over the last five years.

Separations

• Employees with disabilities represented 7 percent of the separations from the Public Service. A 7 percent separation rate is more than double the hiring rate of persons with disabilities.

Members of Visible Minority Groups

Representation

• Members of visible minority groups made up 8.8 percent of the Public Service workforce, up from 8.6 percent in the previous year, but still well below the workforce availability estimate of 10.4 percent.
• Representation of visible minorities in the Executive category is now at 6.2 percent up from 5.5 percent a year ago. The number of visible minority executives has almost trebled, from 103 in 2000 to 290 in 2006–2007.

Gender

• Women made up 55 percent of the visible minority employee population.

Occupational Category

• Of all visible minority employees, 21  percent work in the Scientific and Professional category, an occupational category that represents only 15 percent of the Public Service population.

Age

The distribution by age of employees belonging to visible minority groups is as follows:

• 29 percent of visible minority employees are under 35 years of age
• 45 percent of visible minority employees in the Public Service are between the ages of 35 and 49
• 27 percent are 50 years of age and older

Distribution among Departments and Agencies

• Of the 24 departments with more than 1,000 employees, representing 93 percent of the Public Service population, 12 departments have not matched employment of visible minorities with the workforce availability estimate of 10.4 percent as derived from the 2001 Census.
• Within these same 24 departments, Citizenship and Immigration Canada and Passport Canada continue to have the highest representation of visible minority employees at 16.5 percent and 15.5 percent respectively.

Tenure

• The proportion of visible minorities who are indeterminate employees increased to 91.2 percent, up from 89.7 percent a year ago. An increase has been experienced in each of the last five years.

Geography

• Out of all visible minority employees in the Public Service, 44.8 percent work in the National Capital Region, which is an increase of 1.1 percent from last year.
• The second highest proportion of visible minorities work in British Columbia at 14.8 percent.

Salary

The percentage of visible minority employees at or below the salary level identified are as follows:

• 41 percent earn less than $55,000 annually, identical to the percentage for all employees.
• 68 percent earn under $70,000 annually compared to 69 percent of all employees
• 93 percent earn under $95,000 annually compared to 92 percent of all employees

Hiring

• Of all new hires into the Public Service, 8.7 percent identified themselves as visible minorities; this represents a 1.2 percent drop from the previous year and the lowest level in the last five years.
• Visible minorities continue to enter the Public Service primarily through the Administrative and Foreign Service and Administrative Support categories at 34.7 percent and 32.2 percent respectively. These two occupational categories continue to be the two main points of entry for all new public servants.

Promotions

• Of all promotions in the Public Service, 10.5 percent were to members of visible minority groups. Of these promotions to visible minorities, 14.9 percent were in the Scientific and Professional category.

Separations

• Visible minorities accounted for 7.1  percent of all separations from the Public Service; this remains virtually unchanged from the previous year.

Comparisons and Highlights among Designated Groups

Representation

• Three of the four designated groups remain well represented when compared with workforce availability estimates. Women account for 53.9 percent of Public Service employees, Aboriginal peoples for 4.2 percent and persons with disabilities for 5.7 percent, compared to workforce availability estimates of 52.2 percent, 2.5 percent and 3.6 percent respectively.
• Although visible minority representation, at 8.8 percent, has increased by 2.6 percent from five years ago, there still remains a gap when compared with their workforce availability estimate of 10.4 percent.

Gender

• In 2006–2007, the number of women in the Public Service increased by 1,803 employees to comprise 53.9 percent of the total Public Service population.
• The proportion of women in the designated groups has remained consistent with the levels of five years ago. Women now account for 61.2 percent of Aboriginal peoples, 51.3 percent of persons with disabilities and 54.8 percent of visible minorities.
• For women with a disability, term employment continues to decrease. They comprised 2.6  percent of all women who are term employees in 2006–2007, down from 3.2 percent of five years ago. The same can be said for Aboriginal women who now comprise 4.2  percent, down from 4.9 percent five years ago. However, term employment of visible minority women has increased. They comprised 10.9 percent of all women who are term employees, up from 8.8 percent five years ago.

Occupational Category

• All of the designated groups showed an increased share of the Executive category in 2006–2007 from the previous year, except for Aboriginal peoples: women’s share increased from 38.8 percent to 40.4 percent; the share for Aboriginal peoples remained the same at 3.4 percent; persons with disabilities increased their share from 5.5 percent to 5.8 percent; and visible minorities increased their share from 5.5 percent to 6.2 percent.
• The Administrative and Foreign Service category has the largest base of employees and received 6,003 new employees over the past year. Persons with disabilities showed a small decline in their proportion of this category, while all other designated groups showed an increase in their share. Visible minorities showed the greatest increase, going from 8.4 percent to 9.0 percent.
• The Scientific and Professional category continues to employ the highest concentration of employees belonging to a visible minority group. Members of visible minority groups account for 12.7 percent of all employees in this category. This proportion has been increasing over the last five years.

Age

• The average age of employees in the Public Service is 44.8 years. Among the designated groups overall, visible minorities are the youngest (average 42.8 years) and persons with disabilities are the oldest (average 48.6 years).

Distribution among Departments and Agencies

• Women made up 70.8 percent of the employee population of Human Resources and Social Development Canada, the second largest department in the Public Service.
• Of all Aboriginal peoples employed in the Public Service, 41.7 percent are employed by three departments: Human Resources and Social Development Canada with 875; Correctional Service Canada with 1,049; and Indian and Northern Affairs Canada with 1,252. Aboriginal peoples constitute just under a third of all employees at Indian and Northern Affairs Canada; this is consistent with previous years.
• Approximately 30 percent of all persons with disabilities in the Public Service are employed by National Defence (1,272 employees) and Human Resources and Social Development Canada (1,753 employees).
• Just over 42 percent of all visible minorities in the Public Service work in five departments: National Defence (1,214); Human Resources and Social Development Canada (1,945); Public Works and Government Services Canada (998); Canada Border Services Agency (1,326); and Health Canada (1,161).
• Of the 24 departments with more than 1,000 employees, only 10 departments employed a higher percentage of visible minorities than the 10.4 percent workforce availability estimate:
  • Citizenship and Immigration Canada (16.5  percent)
  • Passport Canada (15.5 percent)
  • Health Canada (13.8 percent)
  • Public Health Agency of Canada (12.0  percent)
  • Statistics Canada (11.7 percent)
  • Canada Border Services Agency (11.3 percent)
  • Canadian International Development Agency (11.2 percent)
  • Environment Canada (11.1 percent)
  • Industry Canada (10.9 percent)
  • Department of Justice Canada (10.7 percent)

Tenure

• Indeterminate employees make up 92.3  percent of the Public Service workforce. The proportion of indeterminate employees among the designated groups in 2006–2007 is as follows, and remains fairly consistent with the overall picture:
  • 93.0 percent of Aboriginal peoples (up from 92.0 percent the previous year)
  • 95.5 percent of persons with a disability (up from 95.4 percent the previous year)
  • 91.2 percent of visible minorities (up from 89.7 percent the previous year)
  • 91.9 percent of women (up from 91.4 percent the previous year)

Geography

• Of the total Public Service workforce, 42 percent is located in the National Capital Region (NCR). This proportion is similar for women (44.2 percent), persons with disabilities (41.8 percent) and visible minorities (44.8 percent). In contrast, less than one third of Aboriginal peoples work in the NCR.
• British Columbia continues to have the highest representation of visible minorities, increasing its share to 14.2 percent, followed by Ontario (excluding the NCR) with 12.8 percent.
• Prince Edward Island had the highest representation of women and persons with disabilities at 63.4 and 8.3 percent respectively; this is consistent with previous years.

Salary

• Just over 70.5 percent of all employees in the Public Service earn $50,000 or more annually; this represents a significant increase from five years ago. The proportions have increased for designated groups in 2006–2007 and are as follows:
  • women at 62.4 percent, compared with 49.8 percent in 2001–2002
  • Aboriginal peoples at 66.0 percent, compared with 51.3 percent in 2001–2002
  • persons with disabilities at 65.1 percent, compared with 55.4 percent in 2001–2002
  • members of visible minority groups at 69.9 percent, compared with 57.2 percent in 2001–2002

Hiring

• The Public Service hired 2,532 more employees in 2006–2007 than in the previous year.
• The hiring of visible minorities showed no improvement from the previous year. Persons in a visible minority group made up 8.7 percent of all new hires; this is a 1.2 percentage decrease from last year. The same can be said for women, who received a 55.7 percent share of new hires; this is a 1.2 percent decrease from last year as well.
• The NCR, British Columbia and Manitoba received the majority of new hires of Aboriginal peoples: the NCR at 29.6 percent; British Columbia at 12.5 percent; and Manitoba at 11.9 percent.
• For the fifth year in a row, visible minorities’ share of new hires into the Executive category has increased. It now stands at 9.1  percent.
• Women’s share in the Scientific and Professional category experienced a decrease of almost 5 percent from the previous year to 51.4 percent. This represents the first drop in women’s share of new hires in this category since 2000–2001.
• Each of the designated groups showed an increase in their share of new indeterminate employee hires from 2005–2006: women from 35.3 percent to 44.8 percent; Aboriginal peoples from 38.8 percent to 46.1 percent; persons with disabilities from 40.2 percent to 42.8 percent; and visible minorities from 36.2 percent to 46.3 percent.
• For the first time, close to half of all new hires of visible minorities into the Public Service were indeterminate at 46.3 percent. This represents an increase of 12.1 percent from the previous year.

Promotions

• More than half of all promotions occurred in the NCR; this was also true for promotions of women, persons with disabilities and visible minorities. The share for Aboriginal peoples increased to 44.1 percent, up from 39.2 percent last year.
• Across the entire Public Service, indeterminate employees received 95.1 percent of all promotions. Indeterminate employees who are members of designated groups received similar rates of promotion: women at 95.5 percent; Aboriginal peoples at 94.6 percent; persons with disabilities at 96.7 percent; and visible minorities at 95.4 percent.
• While two of the four designated groups experienced an increase in the share of promotions in the Scientific and Professional category from last year, visible minorities and persons with disabilities each experienced a decrease of 0.2 percent.
• Women continued to receive the majority of promotions in the Administrative and Foreign Service category, in which they also constitute the majority of employees. They received 69.1 percent of promotions, an increase of 5.2 percent from the previous year.

Separations

• In the Scientific and Professional category, members of visible minority groups accounted for 12.7 percent of employees and 10.5  percent of separations.
• Women accounted for 53.4 percent of all separations from the Public Service.
• Of all separations from the Public Service, 66.3 percent were indeterminate employees. Of all separations involving designated groups, 65.3 percent were indeterminate employees.

Conclusion

While it is appropriate to acknowledge that there have been some significant successes in the recruitment and development of members of the four designated groups, a number of persistent challenges still remain.

Salary levels for employees who are visible minorities compare favourably with the levels for all employees in the Public Service. The representation of visible minorities in the Executive category meets the workforce availability estimate for that category for the first time. However, the significant gap in overall representation of visible minorities compared to the workforce availability estimate must be addressed.

Employees with disabilities are represented in the Executive category at double the level of their workforce availability for that category and, overall, are well represented in almost every department across the Public Service. However, the recruitment of persons with disabilities has not met workforce availability estimates for a number of years. As a result, the representation of employees with disabilities decreased for the first time in 2006–2007, although it did climb again in 2007–2008. In addition, 51 percent of employees with disabilities are 50 years of age or more. Efforts to maintain the representation rate of employees with disabilities in the face of an accelerated separation rate can only be accomplished through a concerted effort in recruitment.

Aboriginal peoples are being significantly recruited into a small number of the larger departments and, as a result, the representation of Aboriginal peoples exceeds the overall workforce availability estimate. However, there are six departments with more than 1,000 employees that have not met the 2001 workforce availability estimate of 2.5 percent.

As of March 31, 2007, women represented 53.9 percent of Public Service employees; as of March 31, 2008 that figure had climbed to 54.4 percent. This compares with 52.5 percent in March 2002, when representation of women slightly exceeded the 2001 workforce availability estimate of 52.2 percent. Women still have not achieved full representation in the Executive category, but that gap appears to be closing. In addition, women are significantly overrepresented in positions earning under $55,000 annually. This may be attributed to the high representation of women working in the Administrative Support category (81 percent).

It is recognized that success in employment equity is about more than just numbers. However, without understanding the composition of our workforce, it would be difficult to pave our way forward. The Agency continues to look at ways to improve the process for voluntary self-identification adopted in the Employment Equity Act to enable us to develop the right policies and initiatives to achieve our goals. Employment equity is an essential first step toward a diverse, representative and inclusive Public Service.

APPENDIX 1

Technical Notes

The two sets of tables in this report provide statistics on designated groups in the Public Service as of March 31, 2007, and March 31, 2008. They include summary data on women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minority groups, as well as tables on hiring, promotions and separations of persons in these groups.

The Treasury Board is the employer for the Public Service as set out in the Financial Administration Act (FAA), schedules I and IV. Appointments are made according to merit as it is defined in the Public Service Employment Act, which is administered by the Public Service Commission of Canada. The total number of employees in the Public Service as of March 31, 2007, was 179,540 and as of March 31, 2008, was 186,754.

Report coverage

This report includes information on indeterminate employees, employees with terms of three months or more, and seasonal employees, with the exception of those seasonal employees who were on leave without pay at the end of March for each fiscal year. No information is reported on students or casual workers, except in the case of hiring if their employment status changed (to indeterminate, terms of three months or more, or seasonal) before the end of the fiscal year. Employees on leave without pay, including those on care and nurturing leave and educational leave, are not included in these tables.

Statistics in this document also exclude Governor in Council appointees, ministerial staff, federal judges and deputy ministers, who are also on the Public Service payroll. As required under the Employment Equity Act, annual reports to Parliament present information for the fiscal year beginning April 1st and ending March 31st.

Federal departments and agencies

The Employment Equity Act prescribes that this report covers the portions of the Public Service of Canada set out in schedules I and IV of the FAA. The Public Service comprises some 72 departments, agencies and commissions for which the Treasury Board is the employer (see Table 5). The statistics in this report include only employees working for those organizations.

These organizations vary in size, from large departments with more than 3,000 employees to small institutions with fewer than 100 employees, and in geography, with some organizations present in all provinces and territories while others are located only in the National Capital Region. The data from some smaller organizations are included with the data from a larger institution that has responsibility for their corporate and administrative matters.

The statistics of separate employers, covered by FAA schedule V, are not included in this report. Those separate employers having more than 100 employees (such as the Canada Revenue Agency and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency) are required by the Employment Equity Act to provide their reports to the Agency only for the purposes of tabling in Parliament at the same time as this report. To view their employment equity reports, readers should visit their websites or contact those organizations directly.

Reports on employment equity in the Canadian Forces and with respect to members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are prepared by those organizations and are also tabled in Parliament at the same time as those of separate employers.

Data on persons in the designated groups

To assure consistency of the data presented in this report, the Agency uses the Incumbent File, which contains information on all employees for whom the Treasury Board is the employer in accordance with FAA, schedules I and IV.

All tabulations, other than those for women, contain data obtained through self-identification. Self-identification data, provided voluntarily by employees, are maintained separately and confidentially in the Employment Equity Data Bank (EEDB) by the Agency. Information derived from these two sources does not always harmonize exactly with information from departmental sources, which is why a reconciliation process is carried out each year by the Agency and departments.

The completeness and accuracy of employment equity data for the Public Service depend on the willingness of employees to self-identify and on departments providing opportunities for them to do so. Employees, including those engaged as students or casual workers, are given an opportunity to provide this information when they are hired and during departmental self-identification surveys or other campaigns. Furthermore, they may complete a self-identification form (available from the employment equity coordinator in the department) at any time.

Terminology

“Hiring” refers to the number of persons added to the employee population in the past fiscal year. This includes indeterminate and seasonal employees (with the exception of those seasonal employees who are on leave without pay at the end of March), those with terms of three months or more, and students and casual workers whose employment status has changed (to indeterminate, terms of three months or more, or seasonal). “Hirings” measures the flow of employees into the Public Service and may include more than one staffing action for term employees.

“Promotions” refers to the number of appointments to positions at higher maximum pay levels, either within the same occupational group or subgroup or in another group or subgroup.

“Separations” refers to the number of employees (i.e. indeterminate, terms of three months or more, and seasonal) removed from the Public Service payroll and may include more than one action for term employees. Separations include employees who retired or resigned or those whose specified employment period (term) ended.

“Indeterminate employees” refers to people appointed to the Public Service for an unspecified duration.

“Seasonal employees” refers to people hired to work cyclically for a season or portion of each year.

“Casual workers” refers to people hired by any one department or agency for a specified period of no more than 90 days during the calendar year. Casual workers are not included in the representation figures.

“Workforce availability” refers to the distribution of people in the designated groups as a percentage of the total Canadian workforce. For Public Service purposes, workforce availability is based only on Canadian citizens in those occupations in the Canadian workforce corresponding to the occupations in the Public Service. Estimates for women, Aboriginal peoples and visible minorities are derived from statistics in the Census of Canada. Estimates for persons with disabilities are derived from data in surveys such as the Health and Activity Limitation Survey (1991) and the Participation and Activity Limitation Survey (2001). These are also collected by Statistics Canada.

Notes

The data in this and other tables in this report cover employees identified for the purpose of employment equity in the Regulations to the Employment Equity Act. The estimates of workforce availability are based on information from the 2001 Census of Canada and the 2001 post-Census Participation and Activity Limitation Survey (PALS). They include only Canadian citizens in those occupations in the Canadian workforce that correspond to occupations in the federal public service.

Internal representation is based on those who have voluntarily chosen to self-identify to date as an Aboriginal person, a person with a disability and/or a person in a visible minority group.

Notes

Shaded columns indicate the percentage representation by gender within each group of employees (e.g. 61.2 percent of Aboriginal employees are women, i.e. 5,013 ÷ 8,190 x 100).

Percentages in the unshaded columns in each case show the representation of all members of the designated groups within the Public Service and their representation by gender within the Public Service (e.g. 9.9 percent of men who are term employees are members of a visible minority group, i.e. 543 ÷ 5,488 x 100).

Internal representation is based on those who have voluntarily chosen to self-identify to date as an Aboriginal person, a person with a disability and/or a person in a visible minority group.

Notes

Each figure in the “CUM %” column represents the cumulative total percentage of each designated group in the Public Service workforce (all employees, women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, and persons in a visible minority group) in the identified salary band or lower.

Other percentages are a designated group’s share of each salary band (rows).

For example, in the “CUM %” column one finds that 36.6 percent of all women (or 37,173) earned less than $50,000 in fiscal year 2007–2008. The figure in the column to the left (66.7 percent) represents the percentage of women in this salary band, that is, the $45,000–$49,999 range.

Internal representation is based on those who have voluntarily chosen to self-identify to date as an Aboriginal person, a person with a disability and/or a person in a visible minority group.

Notes

The data in this and other tables in this report cover employees identified for the purpose of employment equity in the Regulations to the Employment Equity Act. The estimates of workforce availability are based on information from the 2001 Census of Canada and the 2001 post-Census Participation and Activity Limitation Survey (PALS). They include only Canadian citizens in those occupations in the Canadian workforce that correspond to occupations in the federal public service.

Internal representation is based on those who have voluntarily chosen to self-identify to date as an Aboriginal person, a person with a disability and/or a person in a visible minority group.

Notes

Shaded columns indicate the percentage representation by gender within each group of employees (e.g. 61.2 percent of Aboriginal employees are women, i.e. 4,660 ÷ 7,610 x 100).

Percentages in the unshaded columns in each case show the representation of all members of the designated groups within the Public Service and their representation by gender within the Public Service (e.g. 10.0 percent of men who are term employees are members of a visible minority group, i.e. 543 ÷ 5,425 x 100).

Internal representation is based on those who have voluntarily chosen to self-identify to date as an Aboriginal person, a person with a disability and/or a person in a visible minority group.

Notes

Each figure in the “CUM %” column represents the cumulative total percentage of each designated group in the Public Service workforce (all employees, women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, and persons in a visible minority group) in the identified salary band or lower.

Other percentages are a designated group’s share of each salary band (rows).

For example, in the “CUM %” column one finds that 37.6 percent of all women (or 36,435) earned less than $50,000 in fiscal year 2006–2007. The figure in the column to the left (66.6 percent) represents the percentage of women in this salary band, that is, the $45,000–$49,999 range.

Internal representation is based on those who have voluntarily chosen to self-identify to date as an Aboriginal person, a person with a disability and/or a person in a visible minority group.
