Question
I have a faculty member looking for a breakdown of unemployment rates, incarceration rates, median household income, and poverty rates by race, including Aboriginals, in Canada (and, if I’m lucky, rates within those groups). I’ve managed to find a few tables here and there from Public Health, Corrections Canada, and Stats Can that this faculty member felt were fine, but nothing that really hit the nail on the head. Is there somewhere else I should be looking?
