As one in a series of studies on workplace computer usage, this paper uses the 14th cycle of the General Social Survey to empirically investigate the following 3 questions: how widespread computer use is in the Canadian workplace and how this incidence is correlated to observable demographic attributes, geographic locations, and work characteristics; how often workers use computers at work and whether this frequency varies with observable demographic attributes, geographic locations, and work characteristics; the purpose of computer use in the workplace.

The forces that shaped Canada's digital innovations in the postwar period. After World War II, other major industrialized nations responded to the technological and industrial hegemony of the United States by developing their own design and manufacturing competence in digital electronic technology. In this book John Vardalas describes the quest for such competence in Canada, exploring the significant contributions of the civilian sector but emphasizing the role of the Canadian military in shaping radical technological change. As he shows, Canada's determination to be an active participant in research and development work on advanced weapons systems, and in the testing of those weapons systems, was a cornerstone of Canadian technological development during the years 1945-1980. Vardalas presents case studies of such firms as Ferranti-Canada, Sperry Gyroscope of Canada, and Control Data of Canada. In contrast to the standard nationalist interpretation of Canadian subsidiaries of transnational corporations as passive agents, he shows them to have been remarkably innovative and explains how their aggressive programs to develop all-Canadian digital R&D and manufacturing capacities influenced technological development in the United States and in Great Britain. While underlining the unprecedented role of the military in the creation of peacetime scientific and technical skills, Vardalas also examines the role of government and university research programs, including Canada's first computerized systems for mail sorting and airline reservations. Overall, he presents a nuanced account of how national economic, political, and corporate forces influenced the content, extent, and direction of digital innovation in Canada.

The skill-biased technology change hypothesis emerged in the early 1990s as an explanation for the increasing returns to higher education noted in the US labour market. The hypothesis associates increasing levels of computer investment with an increase in the relative demand for highly skilled workers vis-à-vis less skilled workers, thus raising the wages of more highly skilled workers. Evidence in support of the hypothesis has been based mainly on data that is aggregated either across employers or employees. The new Workplace and Employee Survey (WES) unites information on employers and employees in a common framework. These data are used to explore the relationship between employers' computer technology investments and employees' training and education, with a particular focus on the education of new hires. Such evidence is required to build the micro-level foundation for the skill-biased technological change hypothesis.

Written as the computer revolution dawned on Canadian society, Computers on the Job introduces the effects of technological change on people in their homes and workplaces. Heather Menzies explains, in clear, nontechnical terms, how the microcochip unleashes the full potential of computers, allowing employers to automate many routine jobs and transform others--sometimes for the benefit of employees, sometimes not. She traces the effects of computerization on office work, on the service industry and on traditional blue-collar occupations, forecasting changes that, in many cases, have come to pass. Computers on the Job is a pioneering study of the impact of widespread computer use on Canadian society.

The Council carried out a nation-wide survey of employers regarding their experiences with computer-based technological change. They gathered information from close to 1,000 establishments. In addition to cataloguing the new technologies reported by the respondents, the Survey results also describe the employment and organizational changes accompanying the technical advances. The process of introducing technological change and the human resource strategies used to meet new employment requirements receive particular attention. In this summary report, the major findings of the Working With Technology Survey are highlighted.
