An estimated 850 jobs at Statistics Canada are being cut, as well as management roles, as the organization says it is entering a period of “workforce adjustment.”

StatCan spokesperson Carter Mann made the announcement on Jan. 12, saying the cuts will be in addition to a reduction of about 12 percent of the organization’s executive team.
