COVID-19 and Indian Country: Early snapshot reveals disproportionate economic exposure and uncertainty
The coronavirus pandemic presents challenges to underfunded tribal health care systems and to tribal economies and labor forces, and it is likely disproportionately affecting Indian Country.
To understand the depth and breadth of the impact of social distancing and other public health measures on Indian Country labor markets and tribal governments, the Center for Indian Country Development (CICD) at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis conducted a survey of tribes and tribal enterprises. Additionally, the CICD analyzed the most recent American Community Survey (ACS) data, from 2018, to determine the proportion of tribal jobs in industries and occupations that may take the largest hit due to COVID-19.
