Aboriginal labour force stats 1996

Question

I am looking for labour force statistics ie. unemployment rate, participation rate, & employment rate for Canada's Aboriginal Identified population for 1996. I would like these 3 statistics for the following groups:
Total Aboriginal identified populationFirst Nation/Status IndianMetisInuitNon-Aboriginal population
I have found these statistics for 2001 & 2006 in the Census Data & for 2011 in the 2011NHS, but am not able to find comparable data for the 1996 Census year.

Answer

I don’t a see anything available specifically in our standard products but it is something that could be done via a custom request.

That being said, searching online, I did find a publication that may be useful to them.

Produced by INAC using 1996 Census data.
