Literacy and numeracy among off-reserve First Nations people and Métis: Do higher skill levels improve labour market outcomes?

In this study, individuals in the higher range for literacy and numeracy are defined as those who scored level 3 or higher (out of 5 levels) in tests administered by the 2012 Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC).
