The dataset provides a look at the number of employees in each classification group and level across government and broken down by department/agency.
The extract below shows the number of Historical Research (HR) positions from 1990 to 2012. Shown in parentheses is the number of positions at the National Archives of Canada (1990 to 2004) and Library and Archives Canada (2005 to 2012).
