Aboriginal people made little headway on the employment front in 1988 in federally-regulated companies and Crown corporations, according to the second annual report on employment equity. Natives increased their representation in the surveyed work force to .73 per cent from .66 per cent. The report also found aboriginal peoples obtained just one of every 400 new professional jobs or promotions (.25 per cent) though they make up 2.1 per cent of Canada's labor force. Of the more than 20,000 managerial hiring and promotions, just 67 or .34 per cent, went to aboriginal people.
