Figure 4: Appointments to the Public Service to Indeterminate and specified term positions of three months and over by Employment Equity (EE) Designated Group – Text Version

Source: Public Service Commission (PSC), 2011-2012 Annual Report, Table 11, p. 43 – PSC hiring and staffing activities files and the Public Service Resourcing System (PSRS).

Population: Indeterminate population and term population of three months or more in the Public Service.

Notes:

In the PSC context, the "Public Service" refers to organizations under the Public Service Employment Act (PSEA) universe which is approximately equivalent to the Core Public Administration.

The 2006 workforce availability for the Public Service was provided by the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer, Treasury Board Secretariat. Workforce availability estimates are based on the 2006 Census and are for the Core Public Administration only.

For appointments to the Public Service, the percentages for Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of a visible minority group are based on applicants who applied and self-declared through the PSRS in the preceding two years, and where a match was found in the PSC's hiring and staffing activities files covering the current fiscal year.

The figures for women appointed to the Public Service are extracted from the PSC hiring and staffing activities files, which are based on the Public Works and Government Services Canada pay system.

These figures exclude specified term appointments of less than three months and appointments to separate agencies.
