Answer :

Let's break down the information given and fill in the blanks with the correct values.

1. For the gaming industry:
The table indicates that the employment of non-Indigenous workers in the gaming sector is 12,474.

So, the gaming industry employed about 12,474 non-Indigenous workers.

2. For the majority employment sector of Indigenous workers:
The number of Indigenous workers employed in each sector is given as:
- Gaming: 2,913
- Enterprises: 2,015
- Government: 4,322

We can clearly see that the sector with the highest number of Indigenous workers is the Government sector, with 4,322 workers.

Therefore, the majority of Indigenous workers were employed in the Government sector in 2010.

3. For the Indigenous employee percentage in the total workforce:
The total numbers provided are:
- Total Indigenous workers: 9,250
- Total workers (Indigenous and non-Indigenous): 27,376

The fraction of Indigenous workers in the total workforce is given by the ratio of total Indigenous workers to the total workforce, expressed as a percentage:
[tex]\[ \text{Indigenous percentage} = \left( \frac{9250}{27376} \right) \times 100 \approx 33.79\% \][/tex]

Thus, Indigenous employees made up about 33.79% of the workforce in all three sectors combined.

Putting it all together in the answer format:

In 2010, the gaming industry employed about 12,474 non-Indigenous workers.
The majority of Indigenous workers were employed in the Government sector in 2010.
Indigenous employees made up about 33.79% of the workforce in all three sectors combined.
