Abstract

This paper extends and re-examines the author's previous findings using the same 2010 Canada Survey of Household Spending. Using a more advanced econometrics method, this paper empirically re-tests the four potential factors (price, economic, demographic, and geographic) that were significant. This paper concludes that economic and demographic factors are major determinants for hours of work by Canadians. Unlike the previous study, no provincial effects can be found. This means Atlantic Canadians work less not because of lifestyle choices but because of the lack of economic opportunities.
