It is the job of government to do these, not the community. As I stated in Part I, this study can have profound impact on how policy is decided. Other agencies may determine funding or programs based on a perception they get from this and other publications like this. Government agencies must take a more responsible position when releasing studies or publications like this for the damage they could do. Employment statistics are very important.
Employment determines income, quality of life, and reflects education and empowerment.
It is an indicator of how life is for us. This subject should be approached with care, because so much is riding on it. It seems to me that this publication was just something that makes the folks who produced it feel better, but it doesn t help the readers understand the community which it highlights any better than before they read it. That is what disappointed me.
