The following employment statistics should be read with reservation because:
(a)
legal entrants normally register three months after arrival; they might not at that stage have found a job or a school. This has the effect of exaggerating the proportion who are regarded as unemployed (24.9%); and
(b) those claiming to be housewives (14.3%)
might also have found employment after registration.
