These are survey estimates, not a count of jobs. Statistics Canada surveys a sample of households and estimates the whole population from it, so every figure here carries sampling variability that is not shown on this page.
10,445 of the 101,673 figures this site shows are not published at all — 10.3 per cent. Statistics Canada marks a cell x when it will not support a figure and .. when it has none. A suppressed year is a gap in every chart here — never a zero, because drawing it as zero would put a line crashing to the floor wherever the agency simply declined to publish.
The occupation list is a hierarchy. Only the total and its 11 broad groups are shown, because those are the ones that add up. Adding a group to its own sub-groups would count the same workers two and three times over.
An occupation group is a bundle of occupations, defined by the National Occupational Classification. A group's number is everyone in it, not one trade.
Provincial figures are for the province as a place of residence, not where the work is done.
For every occupation group, in every province, for every year since 1987: the labour force, the number employed, the number unemployed, and the unemployment rate — each also split by gender where Statistics Canada publishes it.

About this record
How many people work in each occupation group in each province, and how that has changed every year since 1987 — labour force, employment, unemployment and the unemployment rate, by occupation, province and gender.
