2021 Census data for labour, education, and commuting is now available.
Notably, it shows that:
- 67.5% of Peel's employed population both live and work in Peel. This includes those who work at home.
- Remote work increased to 28.2% in 2021 largely due to COVID-19.
- Peel's unemployment rate is 13.5%.
