Describe the experiences many Native Americans have in regards to jobs and income.

What will be an ideal response?


Varies. Students should state that some of the most severe challenges facing Native Americans relate to work and income. The problems are especially evident on the reservations, where jobs have traditionally been scarce and affluence rare. The overall unemployment rate for all Native Americans is about double the rate for whites. For Indians living on reservations or near reservations, the rate is much higher, sometimes rising to 70% to 80% on the smaller, more isolated reservations.
