3. Indigenous employees made up about [tex]$\square$[/tex] of the workforce in all three sectors combined.



Answer :

To address the given question, let's analyze the provided data step-by-step.

1. Gaming Industry Employment: In 2010, the number of non-Indigenous workers employed in the gaming industry was:
- 12,474 non-Indigenous workers

Thus, we fill in the first blank with 12,474.

2. Sector with Majority Indigenous Workers: To determine which sector employed the majority of Indigenous workers, we need to compare the number of Indigenous workers in each sector:
- Gaming: 2,913 Indigenous workers
- Enterprises: 2,015 Indigenous workers
- Government: 4,322 Indigenous workers

From these values, we see that the Government sector employed the largest number of Indigenous workers, so the second blank should be filled with Government.

3. Percentage of Indigenous Workers in Total Workforce: To find the percentage of Indigenous employees in the total workforce, we use the given totals:
- Indigenous: 9,250 employees
- Total workforce: 27,376 employees

The percentage is calculated by:
[tex]\[ \left( \frac{\text{Indigenous employees}}{\text{Total workforce}} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{9250}{27376} \right) \times 100 \approx 33.79\% \][/tex]

Thus, the percentage to fill in the third blank is 33.79%.

Summarizing, the completed statements are:

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