Product Profile 2.3: Working with the National Household Survey (and Census)

There's plenty of new data in the catalogue, including 2011 Taxfiler data, and our first semi-custom Census topic-based tabulations. No, unfortunately that doesn't mean custom geographies (yet). Just Census tables at smaller geographies than are available on the Statistics Canada website.
