Number of Govt jobs doubled during past 10 yearsThe number of Government jobs has increased by 52 percent – 1,315 jobs – since 2000, according to the latest Census.Ten percent of the working population are now employed by Government.­The hotel sector registered the greatest drop in jobs in the latest count, with almost 900 fewer than in 2000 when 2,738 positions were held.Census 2010 also reported on gender distribution in the workforce, saying that there was an almost equal number of men and women but that the impact of job losses were greater for men than for women.“Men accounted for slightly more positions, with 18,812 compared to 18,591 for women. The impact of job losses on working men in 2010 is evident when the gender totals for men and women are compared to the 2000 Census.“In 2000, male and female workers totaled 19,004 and 17,874 respectively. Between 2000 and 2010 there were 192 fewer men in the workforce. Conversely, there were 717 more working women.”And reporting on occupation by race, the Census says that the numbers of mixed and other races in the workforce more than doubled, to 5,853, since 2000 when there were 1,934 workers.“Conversely, there were 1,635 fewer blacks, and 1,759 fewer white workers in the workforce in 2010 compared to 2000.“In 2010, black workers accounted for 20,213 members of the working population (54 percent) while whites comprised 11,337 or 30 percent of all workers. In 2000, black and white workers totaled 21,848 and 13,096, respectively.”The Census also found a “sharp contrast” between racial groups among managers, professionals and associate professions.“The share of all whites who work in one of these three occupation groups was 65 percent compared to 40 percent and 39 percent for blacks and persons of mixed or other racial heritage, respectively.“In contrast, the proportions of workers by racial group in the remaining occupation groups, ie clerical, service, trades, machine operators and elementary occupations, were 34 percent for whites, 58 percent for blacks and 60 percent for the mixed and other racial group.”We're getting sickerThe numbers of people reported as having a health condition has more than doubled since 2000, writes Ayo Johnson.In 2000 the total number of health conditions reported was 17,048, however, that increased significantly to 44,804 in 2010.“When compared to the total non-institutional population, 18 percent of the population reported having at least one health condition in 2000, compared with 40 percent of the population in 2010. This is a significant increase that indicates a trend towards a less healthy population which may be attributable to lifestyle habits and an ageing society.”Respondents were also asked whether they had “disabling conditions” which limited their everyday activities such as working, going to school or taking care of their personal needs.“The number of disabling conditions reported increased in all categories from 2000 to 2010.“The disabling health conditions which experienced the largest percentage increase over the ten-year period were learning disabled, epilepsy and high blood pressure” which increased by 129 percent, 89 percent and 88 percent respectively.“Interestingly, although there was a seven percent decrease over the ten-year period in the number of disabled persons who reported that their health condition prevented them from working, there was a 32 percent increase in the number of disabled persons whose health condition limited the kind or amount of work they could perform. Women represented 56 percent of the total number of impacts of disability reported and exceeded the number of males in every category of disability impact.”Trend shows people are waiting longer before marryingPeople are waiting longer to get married compared to ten years ago, according to the latest census.And the proportion of divorcees has increased by one percent.The Statistics Department reported an increase in the median age of persons marrying for the first time, from 24 to 27 years old.“This outcome reflected the 15 percent drop in persons marrying before their twenty-fifth birthday.“On average, males married later (28 years old) in life than females (26 years old) when marrying for the first time. In 2010, 13 percent of females entered marriage for the first time as a teenager compared to only three percent of their male counterparts.”Number of foreign-born residents growsThe number of Africa-born Bermuda residents has nearly tripled since 2000, making the group the fastest growing segment of the population by place of birth.The growth rate was documented in the 2010 Census. The next largest growing segment, residents born in Asian countries, almost doubled.Significant growth in the number of Bermuda residents born in the Caribbean is also being reported.“The foreign-born population grew at a faster rate (five percent) than the Bermuda-born population which declined three percent” compared to 2000, the report stated.The Bermuda-born population remains at a strong 67 percent (42,802) of the population, while 18,532, or 29 percent, were foreign-born.“Persons born in the United Kingdom remained the largest group of the foreign-born population, at 3,942 persons.

Between 2000 and 2010, the number of persons residing in Bermuda who were born in Asian countries more than doubled, increasing by 1,188 nationals. More significantly, persons residing in Bermuda who were born in African countries nearly tripled, increasing by 383 persons.
