While not being heterosexual tends to have a negative impact on the employment rate of Canadian men, the same does not apply to women. Over the 2015-2018 period, the proportion of men aged 25-64 who were employed was lower among gay or bisexual men than among heterosexual men, while the employment rate for lesbians was nearly ten points higher than that of heterosexual women of the same age. In addition, heterosexual and bisexual women were less likely to be employed than lesbian women, heterosexual men, and gay men.
