Distribution of public service of Canada employees by designated group and language requirements of the position
On this page
Representation data for Indigenous peoples, members of visible minorities and persons with disabilities is based on voluntary self-identification. Public servants can choose whether or not to self identify; it is not mandatory. This means that the data may not provide an accurate reflection of the total number of public servants in each employment equity group.
