§3416 Labor market information on Indian work force

Summary

The Secretary of Labor must work with the Secretary, Indian tribes, and the Census Director to make, keep current, and publish a report at least every two years about people who can get services for Indian people. The report must give national data by State, Bureau of Indian Affairs service area, and tribe, and show totals for age groups, who is available for work, who is employed (including those earning below the poverty line), and how many work in private versus public jobs. The Secretary of Labor must also work with the Census Bureau and the National Center for Native American Studies and Policy Development (authorized by Public Law 101–301) to prepare a report on the need for complete, accurate, and regularly updated information on the size and characteristics of the Indian and Alaska Native population nationwide. That report must list what information is needed, how much it would cost to get it for needs like education, health, housing, job training, and other basics, consider the needs of tribes and groups serving Indians in nonreservation areas, and be sent to the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs and the House Committees on Natural Resources and on Education and Labor no later than 12 months after October 23, 1992.
