Overview

Abstract (English)

There is a recent and growing literature in labour economics that discusses trends in the labour force in terms of three major occupational groupings: the Creative Class, Service Class, and Working Class. To date, this body of literature has largely ignored the implications of the training and/or receipt of education for new immigrants for their labour market success and potential mobility both within and between classes. This study uses the Longitudinal Study of Immigrants to Canada (LSIC) to describe basic trends in new immigrant integration into the Canadian labour force, as segregated by these major occupational groupings.
