- As premium payments are administered through the tax system, the most recent data available are for the 2007 taxation year.
- For ease of analysis, the benefits-to-contributions ratios have been adjusted so that the national figure equals one.
- Province, territory and industry are determined by the location of the employer for premiums, and of the claimant for benefits.
- Gender and age figures do not add up to the national total because some data are missing for these categories.
