Between 1961 and 2007, the rising share of the Canadian population in paid employment contributed to rising GDP per person.

In 1961 the average labour productivity was $39290 and the 33.2% of the population was employed. GDP per capita can be calculated by average labour productivity x % of population employed, ie $ 39290 x 33.2% = $ 13044 as given in the table.

Similarly the value of the GDP per capita in 2007 was calculated as $39736

If however, in 2007, the average labour productivity was $77688 and the share of population employed was 33.2%, the GDP per capita would be $ 77688 x 33.2% = $25792
