Characteristics of individuals, Labour income profile of individuals
The Labour Income Profile table is divided into the categories below. A brief description of each category follows. See also the Glossary.

• Tax filers and dependants: This represents an estimate of the total population as derived from the tax file. Included here are tax filers, their non-filing spouse and their children; the latter can be filing or non-filing children. Spouses and children can be identified by the information on a tax filer’s return, from T4 records and from Federal Child Benefits.
• Number: The total number of tax filers and imputed spouses reporting income for the period represented in the data table.
• Amount ($’000): The total amount of reported and imputed income, expressed in thousands of dollars.
• Median ($): Half of the population reported less than or equal to the median income, and the other half reported more than or equal to the median. See glossary for further explanation.
• Provincial Index (Province = 100): The median income for the area is expressed as a percentage of the median income for the province.
• Canadian Index (Canada = 100): The median income for the area is expressed as a percentage of the median income for Canada.
