After all, being paid to determine that 404,000 pigs were born in B.C. last year and-that they outnumber baby humans almost nine-to-one, does seems humorous. But births of pigs and humans aren't the only numbers statisti- cians have been busy crunching. Here’s a sampling of other B.C. statistics, + B.Cs. unemployment rate edged up to 8.8 per cent in September—an increase of 0.1 Per cent of a point over the previ- ous month. ? men who gamble spend an average of $2,132 annu- ally, while women who gamble spend less lavishly at gambling— they spend an average of $1,658 annually. + Red meats such as beef and pork account for 60 per cent of the meat consumed by Canadi- ans. Chicken came in at 31 per cent, turkey, six per cent, veal two percent and mutton or lamb one per cent. While 35 per cent indicated that red meat was the main ingredient in their last meal, 38 per cent of the remaining respondents said seafood, cheese, beans or legumes, eggs or other foods were the main ingredients in their last meal. + In June of this year, one in every eight working-age British Columbians (ages 19-64) was receiving either unemployment benefits or income assistance. That ration was considerably higher at one-in-five for those age 19-24. Older B.C. residents (55-64) were least likely to need physical aggres- sion isn’t cool nor acceptable.
