Employment Profile of English Speakers in Montréal

This profile aims to contribute to the knowledge and understanding of the employment issues faced by Montréal’s English-speaking communities by surveying the most comprehensive information on the demographic and labour force conditions of English speakers in the region. The profile compiles the available data on English speakers’ employment status with respect to their position as linguistic minorities in majority French-speaking communities.
