For the Wineries industry, the percentage of employees that are
production workers decreased from 60.2% in 1998 to
47.2% in 2007. As a result, there was a relative increase in the
proportion of administrative workers.
In the Manufacturing Sector as a whole, 78.7% of employees
were production workers in 1998 compared to 74.1% in 2007. This
proportion decreased at an average annual rate of
0.6% over the 1998-2007 period and it decreased by
0.4% in 2006-2007.
Aside from cyclical economic fluctuations, several factors may contribute to
changes in the composition of an industry segment's workforce.
In an increasingly knowledge-based economy, the administrative component of
the workforce (including business administrators, managers and professionals
such as engineers and computer and research scientists) may be growing in
significance.
Technological advances may result in lower demand for production workers,
which can in turn have a proportional impact on requirements for managers and
support staff. At the same time, the trend of outsourcing work for contract
rather than performing it in-house can have an impact on employment levels for
both production and administrative staff.

The data in this section come from Statistics Canada's Annual Survey of Manufactures and
Logging. Data are available for the years 1998-2007.
Due to methodological changes to the Annual Survey of Manufactures and
Logging (summarized in the Data
Sources section of this site), caution should be used when interpreting
trends in the data presented below.
Employment statistics obtained from the Annual Survey of Manufactures and
Logging are annual averages as part-time and temporary employees are
included as are employees absent with pay. Contract workers, company
pensioners, outside directors of incorporated companies and persons working on
a full commission basis are excluded from the estimates.
Additional information related to employment is available in the Salaries and Wages and Performance sections of
Canadian Industry Statistics.

Employment within the manufacturing sector is separated into two major
categories: production workers and non-production workers. Non-production
workers are often called administrative workers and this convention is
adopted on this site.
Production employees include those employees engaged in
processing, assembling, storing, inspecting, handling, packing, maintenance,
repair, janitorial, watchmen services and working foremen.
Administrative employees include all employees that are not
involved directly in production and related manufacturing activities. Examples
include those involved in management, personnel, secretarial, sales, finance
and other similar activities.
