This section shares information about jobs and people in different parts of Newfoundland and Labrador. The province is divided into 11 areas called Census Divisions. Two of these areas (Divisions 10 and 11) are combined to give a better picture of Labrador. There’s also a separate profile for the St. John’s area, which is the biggest city and has the most people and businesses.

The 2024 update includes helpful facts like:

• Population: Changes in age groups, number of men and women, and how many people identify as Indigenous.
• Education: How many people finished college or university, and what they studied.
• Jobs: What kinds of jobs people have, what industries they work in, and how far they travel to work.
• Income: How people earn money, including wages, Employment Insurance, and support from programs like CERB (which helped during COVID-19).
• Job Openings: How many jobs are being advertised in each area, and which jobs and industries are hiring the most.
• Newcomers and Movers: How many new people moved to the province or changed where they live between 2016 and 2021.

Most of this information comes from Statistics Canada. You can find maps and sources at the end of each profile, including maps of the province and the St. John’s area.
