Profile of Francophone Employment
The employment of Francophones is heavily influenced by geography. In
the rural regions of the Atlantic provinces, northeastern Ontario, and
in the West, goods producing industries—primary industries, manufacturing
and construction—are of special importance for Francophones. Overall,
this type of industry provides 25.1% of the jobs held by Francophones
in Canada outside Quebec and more than 30% of Francophone employment overall.
The public sector—education, health and government service—is
also very important for Francophones. Three out of ten Francophones in
Canada work for the government. In metropolitan areas such as Halifax/Dartmouth,
the percentage is higher. High numbers of Francophones in Newfoundland
and Labrador and in the three territories are also employed in the public
sector.
The more dynamic industries—transportation and communications,
financial and insurance services, wholesale dealers and customer services—represent
a strategic link in economic development. These services are significantly
lacking in regions without the urban infrastructure needed to accommodate
the headquarters of large enterprises. They are concentrated in the metropolitan
areas, explaining why there are so few in Francophone regions.
