I seem to remember reading that the official Canadian unemployment
statistics do not take into account certain groups; specifically, I believe
that either 'status Indians' or people living on reserves are not included
in the unemployment rate. Is this true? If it is, why is it done like that?
Finally, does anyone know what the unemployment rate would be if these
people were included? (I tried-not very hard-to find the necessary numbers
at Stats. Canada but couldn't) I imagine it would be quite a bit higher; is
this just a way oof keeping the rate artificially low?
Thanks very much,
