Teenagers who are not working, looking for work, or in school are usually “hanging out” with nothing to do and no place to go. The decennial census – conducted every ten years – provides information on this group of youth.
- On the Coeur d'Alene Reservation, 25 percent of American Indians age 16-19 were not working, looking for work, nor in school in 2000.
Please note that ORTL stands for Off-Reservation Trust Land.
