Abstract
In March 2012, Francophones in Canada posted an unemployment rate of 8.3%, higher than the national average of 7.7%. That month, the unemployment rate among Anglophones was 7.4%, slightly below the national average.
This difference is more a reflection of the distribution of Francophones and Anglophones in Canada than a lower level of 'performance' in the labour market by a particular language group. At the provincial level, the situation for Francophones is similar, or even better, to that for Anglophones, except in New Brunswick.
