New census data shows how commuting dropped during pandemic, labour force aging
New census data shows commuting levels dropped significantly in 2021 compared to 2016, and while some of that decline has rebounded, transit ridership hasn’t fully recovered.
Tricia Williams, director of research evaluation and knowledge mobilization at the Future Skills Centre, said the pandemic is a “tale of multiple stories.” Given the impact of the pandemic on remote work and commuting, StatCan also compared the 2021 data with updated numbers from this spring. Statistics Canada has also published data on how the labour force is evolving as the Canadian population ages.
