Since 1983, Toronto's City Planning Division has monitored the City's employment by conducting an annual survey of businesses, the Toronto Employment Survey. The data collected is vital to monitor the City's economic health, as well as aiding in decision and policy making. It is essential background information for forecasting and planning the City's infrastructure and services for the citizens and businesses of Toronto. The Survey is a unique resource in Canada for the private and public sectors.
Throughout the summer, surveyors from the City Planning Division's Research and Information team visit each and every business establishment in the City of Toronto. That's over 75,290 locations! The surveyors collect information about the number of employees working there, and the type of work that is taking place. No other programme relates Toronto employment and land use.
Of course, the information collected is treated as strictly confidential. The data is only released to the public in aggregate form. This way, employment patterns can be studied without revealing specific information on individual businesses.
The continued success of this important survey depends upon the co-operation and assistance of the City's business community. We rely on each business establishment to provide us with information on the number of full- and part-time employees as well as the type of employment activity taking place at each location.
Watch out for a surveyor at your business this summer and count your business in!
