Jobs & income in Ozerna: graded C+
Better than 38% of Canadian towns on three measures together, #338 of 474 in Alberta.
Its strongest measure is household income; its weakest, the share of 15-to-64s in work.
Graded against Canadian towns of 2,500 people or more; less unemployment and a shorter commute count in its favour.
How the grade works
Census 2021 measures, weighed equally against every Canadian town and neighbourhood of 2,500 people or more: the share of residents aged 15 to 64 in work, median household income (2020), the unemployment rate and the average commute. Each becomes a percentile; their average sets the letter.
Work and the working-age population of Ozerna
Of the 211 other places of 2,500 people or more in Census Division No. 11, 30 have a smaller share of 15-to-64s in work.
The labour force, people 15 and over with a job or seeking one, took in 60% of residents that age. By October 2026, the Labour Force Survey had 64% of the wider area’s adults in work. These are census figures from May 2021, during COVID’s third wave; jobs have recovered since, which the Labour Force Survey shows.

Median household income in Ozerna: $112,800 in 2020
58 of the 211 other places of 2,500+ in Census Division No. 11 have a higher median. Set beside Alberta’s towns, where the median is $92,250, Ozerna sits 22% above. Because 2020 was the first year of the pandemic, emergency benefits make up part of these before-tax incomes.

What this data can and can’t tell you
What each figure measures for Ozerna, where it comes from, and what it leaves out.
- Trip times. The census asks how long the trip to work usually takes, in bands; our average uses each band’s middle, so it runs a little above Statistics Canada’s timed average.
- Employment Insurance. Beneficiaries of Employment Insurance, month by month, for the census division rather than the town. Many jobless people don’t qualify, so it isn’t an unemployment rate.
- The Labour Force Survey. Sampled each month and released for regions rather than towns, so its rate describes the area around the town.
- In work. Everyone with a job, whatever their age, divided by the residents aged 15 to 64 at the 2021 Census: below the municipality the census doesn’t split work by age, and this is the one rate every town and neighbourhood can be given.
- Unemployment. It counts only people who wanted work and had none in May 2021, as a share of those working or searching; students and retirees who weren’t looking stay out of both sides.
- Household income. The 2020 income of the household at the midpoint, all sources and before tax. Inside a city we rebuild it from the dissemination areas’ income bands, so there it is an estimate.
- Which towns we compare. Any town of 2,500 or more counts, and so does any city neighbourhood that size; the city as a whole and First Nations reserves don’t. The middle is the median.
- Neighbourhood figures. The census reaches a neighbourhood only through its dissemination areas, and Ozerna’s figures add those up. Edmonton’s page has the commuting flows, which exist only for the whole municipality.
