Study: Examining the Incomes of Veterans
Following their release from the Canadian Armed Forces, the vast majority of Regular Force veterans released from 1998 to 2014 relied on employment income as their main source of income. Total income among these veterans was, on average, $65,470 during the year before their release from the Forces and $65,330 three years following release. Their total income declined initially after release, but reached pre-release levels within three years post-release, and continued to increase thereafter.
Study: A profile of businesses in Indigenous communities in Canada
This study provides a broad understanding of the business environments in Indigenous communities—First Nations and Inuit—across Canada. These communities are typically located in rural low density or remote areas. The analysis profiles businesses located in Indigenous communities and compares them with businesses located in non-Indigenous communities with similar population size parameters; hence, this analysis uses a geographic concept (i.e., the type of community) to connect the business dimension with the Indigenous dimension, as opposed to businesses whose ownership identifies as Indigenous.
