Distribution of public service of Canada employees by designated group and occupational group in force

On this page

Representation data for Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities 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.

About the data

When reading the tables below, the following information applies:

  • Source: Pay System as of March 31st of each year and Employment Equity Data Bank (EEDB).
  • Internal representation for Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities is based on those who have voluntarily chosen to self-identify in one of the respective employment equity groups, while sex information is taken from the pay system.
  • The data in these tables cover employees identified for the purpose of employment equity in the Regulations to the Employment Equity Act.
  • The information includes indeterminates, terms of three months or more, and seasonal employees of organizations captured under the Financial Administration Act, Schedules I and IV (core public administration).
  • Classification is based on the effective classification which includes acting assignments.
  • Excluded from this information are:
    • employees on leave without pay,
    • terms less than three months,
    • students and casual workers,
    • Governor in Council appointees,
    • Ministers’ exempt staff,
    • federal judges and
    • deputy ministers.
  • The occupational groups in force are part of a new structure which replaced the former occupational categories in Schedule III of the Employment Equity Regulations as a result of an update of the Regulations. Occupational groups in force are reported on according to Schedule III in the Employment Equity Regulations and include both information on occupational and classification groups.

Footnote 1

As of March 2024, the CT - Comprollership group was created and includes three new classification groups: CTIAV - Internal audit, CTFIN - Financial management and CTEAV - External audit. All members of the previous AU - Auditing classification group became CTIAV and all members of the previous FI - Financial management classification group became CTFIN. Only some members of the AS - Administrative services classification group became CTEAV. All data prior to 2024 will reflect the former classification groups.

Footnote 2

The sum of designated groups does not equal the total ("All employees") because employees may have chosen to self-identify in more than one designated group, and men are included in the total.
