As of 2001, nearly 50% of individuals on-reserve are over the age of 15, suggesting severe demographic strain commonly found in the Third World. Average incomes among full-time labourers remain approximately $18,000 under the Alberta provincial average, and the Canadian government reports a 40% unemployment rate. The per-room occupancy rate on this reserve is double that of the provincial average.[citation needed]
