Over recent years, extensive data and research have confirmed the differential status of Indigenous Australians within the labour market. Indigenous Australians experience higher unemployment, lower participation rates and lower incomes than non-Indigenous workers (Boreham, Whitehouse and Harley, 1993; Daly, 1995; Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2000; Hunter and Gray, 200I). Borooah and Mangan (2002) found Indigenous Australians had poorer occupational outcomes than either white or Asian Australians. These poor labour market outcomes are major factors in the higher poverty levels in the Indigenous community (Albnan and Hunter, 1998).
