Unemployment statistics not always accurate By Ward Marchant The Associated Press American Indians arc severely 'undercounted in unemployment 1 figures because they tend togive up and drop out of the workforce, ' according to the authors of a re 'port on Indian joblessness. ' The report said unemployment ' among American Indians in some ' areas is 20 times higher than Labor Department figures, which don't include "discouraged workers" "those who don't believe job-hunt-' ing is futile. ' The undercounts "result in less ; funding for government programs ! which attempt to alleviate these high rates of unemployment," the 'study contends. ' The study, "Native American Unemployment: Statistical Games and Cover-ups," was done by George Tinker, assistant professor. of cross-cultural ministry at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, and by University of Denver grad- Energy efficient homes One of the biggest consumer ,'. concerns of the last few years has ., been that of energy, in particular ,. it's rising cost. Our efforts as ;. builders to reduce costs for con ,. sumers (our customers) often in volve maximizing energy efficien , cy. There's ample motivation for do . ing this: financial (read: cash!), a ;. more satisfied homebuyer, and ,. promotional help that benefits the ; builder directly. One way to build in energy effi ciency is to qualify for the Super Good Cents program offered by Bonneville Power Administration and the area's electric utilities: , Midstate Electric Cooperative, Central Electric Cooperative, and Pacific Power. The program makes homes more attractive to energy-concious homebuyers, and who couldn't use a little marketing help these days? Super Good Cents offers a menu of techniques shown to be energy- effective. Builders can combine i construction guidelines with venti lation, heating and cooling equip- ment recommendations to achieve . Super Good Cents efficiency. The bottom-line result? A Super . Good Cents home's energy re quirements may be reduced by half, a strong selling point for cost concious homebuyers. And, this may be done while maintaining or i even improving comfort levels. The objectives of Super Good Cents are: I. To reduce the amount of energy it takes to provide heating and cooling to a home. -2. To make it generally more .nergy efficient. -3. To make it more comforta ble. 4. To enable utility customers to save money on their energy bills. uate student Lonng Bush. The study compared unemploy ment figures provided by the Labor Department and the Bureau of Indian Affairs and those in a . 1985 "First Friday Report."., The First Friday Report, a study by the Lutran Council U.S.A. Office for Government Affairs and two other groups, used figures on "discouraged workers" included in the Bureau of Indian Affairs re port. The study's authors say their findings reflect a racist attitude toward Indians shown by govern ment officials and by corporations through hiring practices. "It is not an explicit racism," says Bush. "It's an unconscious racism; there is nothing in it that is outright bigoted, but it is protect ing white perogatives." According to the study, the First Friday Report gives an 87 percent rate ol unemployment for the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota in 1985. The Bureau of Indian -5. To increase the value of the home. If you're a student of selling, you recognize all of the above items as great benefits for you to convey to a potential homebuyer. As a builder, when looking at the Super Good Cents home there are two cost factors that need to be examined. First, the initial cost of including the features of Super Good Cents. This means that the home you build will have a higher initial price tag than a regular home (about 1-4 percent). But that higher upfront price tag can easily be justified by long-term savings, or how much the home buyer pays each month for utilities, particularly for heating the house and hot water. This is where your Super Good Cents home "pays back its initial higher cost. Utility costs are lower from the day a homebuyer moves into your newly-built home. The savings continue throughout the life of the structure. And while your poten tial homebuyer will cringe at the slightly higher sale price and prop erty tax bill, they will smile when those costs are offset by lower util ity bills every month. Super Good Cents home con struction features can be mixed and matched to achieve the best energy combination for a home buyer's particular needs. Some of the most common con struction features include: "sand wich" construction doors with rubber gaskets; ventilation to pre vent moisture buildup; double- or even triple-paned windows; beefed up insulation; up to R-30 insula tion in floor joists; and possible use of solar waterheating. Many times. Warm Springs, Oregon Affairs estimates that 78 percent of the Pine Ridge work force was unemployed as of late 1989. But the South Dakota Labor Market Information Center re ported far lower figures for the two counties that cover the entire Pine Ridge reservation. It reported that Jackson County had an overall unemployment rate of 3.2 percent in December 1989 and Shannon County had an overall 4.5 percent unemployment rate. J Noting the differences in the years for the statistics, the study's authors said unemployment rates for American Indians have been relatively constant. Loren Harms, and economic analyst for the South Dakota Department of Labor, said Thurs day his department used standard methodology, set down by the Bu reau of Labor Statistics in Wash ington, in determining unemploy ment rates. To be counted "a person must Continued on page 8 mean cash simple changes to a home's plans can achieve savings without addi tional materials or labor. And if a builder needed addi tional incentive for constructing a Super Good Cents home, consider that each utility, and BPA, often provide advertising funds, cash in centives, and promotional support that will keep your name in front of homebuyers.
