Even though Aboriginal women tend to be better educated than men, they are no more likely to find jobs (Table 2.3). Their participation rate in the labour force is much lower than Aboriginal men's — 53.4 per cent versus 72.4 per cent. Although there is a smaller 12
percentage of women 15 years and older seeking work, those that do participate in the labour force fare better than men. Their unemployment rate is 21.1 per cent, compared to 27.6 per cent for men. In addition, the percentage of those who are self-employed is half that of Aboriginal men and well below that of all Canadian women. It is not surprising, then, to find that the average annual income of Aboriginal women is about $11,900, compared to $17,400 for Aboriginal men. Aboriginal women are far behind their non- Aboriginal counterparts, for whom the average annual income is about $17,600.
