WorkplaceNow
A weekly view of workplace occupancy to assess the pandemic recovery across Canada
WorkplaceNow provides estimates of the number of workers and days worked at employment locations. Detailed estimates for all levels of Census geography allow users to see trends in employment districts, cities, regions, and user-defined geographies like trade areas. Current data can be compared with any other period, back to 2020 to put occupancy levels in perspective. Estimates represent workers physically present at their workplace within the geography being analyzed.
WorkplaceNow is built using aggregated and de-identified mobile movement data combined with EA demographic data, such as DaytimePop. Access WorkplaceNow’s weekly and monthly summarized data in ENVISION for convenient reporting on the geographic areas you define, or as a flat file to incorporate in your own tools. When used with EA’s BusinessProfiles database, WorkplaceNow paints a picture of which industries are moving back sooner, which are moving back later, and which ones may see longer-term changes to workplace utilization.
What's New?
As of this February data release, WorkplaceNow will no longer include data from 2019. This change applies to ENVISION and flat file deliveries. Data will start from 2020 onward, providing you with the most up-to-date insights for analysis and decision-making.
