This report seeks to examine interprovincial employment from Newfoundland and Labrador between 2005 and 2014. The data was provided from the Canadian Employer Employee Dynamics Database (CEEDD). In terms of analysis, a geospatial visualization approach was taken using mapping software where the data was visualized through maps at the rural secretariat level. Visualization through graphs and tables was considered as well. Through an examination of factors including age, gender, marital status, province of employment, industry, employer size, earnings and percent of earnings from interprovincial employment, it was revealed that those who participated and at what rate varied spatially by rural secretariat. This variation also occurred from year to year. From a policy perspective, these findings can provide evidence for governmental initiatives for families relying on earnings from interprovincial employment.
