Jobs & income in Weinlos: graded C
Better than 30% of Canadian towns on three measures together, #373 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.
How many in Weinlos have a job: 63% of 15-to-64s
Of the 211 other places of 2,500 people or more in Census Division No. 11, 39 have a smaller share of 15-to-64s in work.
For the wider area, the Labour Force Survey had 64% in work in October 2026. Add those looking for a job to those with one, and 64% of residents 15 and over were in the labour force. The census caught the labour market on 11 May 2021, deep in the pandemic, so unemployment and working from home both ran above normal.

How Weinlos’ household incomes compare

124 of the 211 other places of 2,500+ in Census Division No. 11 have a higher median. The middle of Alberta’s towns is $92,250, and Weinlos is 4% below it. 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 Weinlos, where it comes from, and what it leaves out.
- The Labour Force Survey. Statistics Canada’s monthly survey, published for metro areas and economic regions rather than towns: it gives a current rate beside the census’s 2021 one.
- In work. How many residents held a job in May 2021, set against how many were 15 to 64. It reads a little high where many people work past 65, since below the municipality the census gives no breakdown of workers by age.
- Unemployment. The share of people 15 and over in the labour force, working or looking for work, who had no job on census day in May 2021.
- Household income. What the median household took in during 2020 before tax, as the census recorded it; an estimate built from income groups when the place is a neighbourhood.
- Trip times. How long getting to work normally takes, averaged from the census’s time bands at their middles; expect it to read slightly high against the timed figure.
- Employment Insurance. A monthly count of Employment Insurance beneficiaries for the whole census division. It tracks the local job market, but it is not an unemployment rate.
- Which towns we compare. Comparisons are with the median of Canadian towns and city neighbourhoods counting 2,500 people or more, reserves and entire cities excluded.
- Neighbourhood figures. We add up Weinlos’ dissemination areas for its census figures. Flows between places and timed averages exist only for the whole municipality: see Edmonton’s page.
