Notes:
Scenario 1: Projections for the Aboriginal labour force assume that the Aboriginal employment rate
achieves parity with the non-Aboriginal employment rate by 2017 .
Scenario 2: Projections for the Aboriginal labour force assume that the employment rate of the non-
Aboriginal population does not change from the 2001 rate and the Aboriginal employment level for 2017
reaches the midpoint between the Aboriginal and the non-Aboriginal employment rates for 2001.
Scenario 3: Projections for the Aboriginal labour assume that the employment rate of Aboriginals and
non-Aboriginals remain constant.
