Behind the Numbers hosts and SRI founder, Doug Lonnstrom examine Consumer Confidence in New York in March 2010. If we're seeing positive economic news reported in the media, why is Consumer Confidence staying the same? Unemployment making people in New York pessimistic. Political situation and New York State budget are also contributing to economic confidence. Gas and Food prices also keep confidence low. Upstate New Yorkers predict that the future economy will be dismal

HALF A MILLION PERSONS, REPRESENTING 7.5 PERCENT OF THE POVERTY AREA WORK FORCE, WERE UNEMPLOYED IN THE POVERTY AREAS OF LARGE STANDARD METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREAS IN MARCH 1966. HOWEVER, A REASONABLE, AND PROBABLY MINIMAL, ESTIMATE OF "SUBEMPLOYMENT" (A COMPOSITE MEASURE OF BOTH JOBLESSNESS AND EMPLOYMENT AT SUBSTANDARD WAGES) IN THESE POVERTY AREAS WOULD BE 1.5 MILLION. THE FACTORS WHICH PRODUCE SUBEMPLOYMENT IN BIG CITY POVERTY AREAS ARE AS DIVERSE AS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE...

The purpose of this study was to measure possible effects of post-manpower training counseling of an occupational nature upon certain facets of perception and behavior of 110 subjects from eight selected Oklahoma Manpower Development and Training Act classes held during 1967-68. The effects of the counseling treatment were measured by the subject's job satisfaction scores, employee performance scores, training efficiency, and general employability. Data consisted of demographic variables and...

To learn what effects Manpower Development and Training Act (MDTA) institutional job training courses had on income and employment, a nationwide representative sample of about 1,200 former trainees (784 completers and 413 dropouts) were interviewed early in 1966--over a year after their job training--to learn their opinions of the programs and their subsequent employment experiences. A partially matched control group of 925 persons who were unemployed at the time trainees entered training was...

In recent years there has been a significant increase in the efforts of private industry to employ and train the hard-core unemployed youth and adults of this nation. The time has come, however, for a change in the continuing pattern of employers engaging in experimental and demonstration projects, each learning anew what others have learned about hiring, training, promoting, and providing compensatory and remedial services for the hard-core unemployed. Assistance and guidance must be provided...

Results of a study of an experimental and demonstration job training project (Chicago JOBS Project) for approximately 1,500 underemployed "functionally illiterate" inner-city Negro youth are reported. The project, which lasted from September of 1963 to the summer of 1964, included basic education, vocational training, and group and personal counseling. The study focused on individual rather than program factors related to success, using data derived from questionnaires and interviews...

The alliance of private industry and the schools has produced many excellent job-oriented education programs for the potential school dropout, the hard-core unemployed, and the underemployed. However, the majority of educators and businessmen throughout the country probably are not aware of the variety of cooperative training ventures that have been attempted because no detailed compilation of information about such programs has been available. Such a report has now been prepared on a project...

Alaska is in the paradoxical position of having more jobs available than people, and at the same time maintaining one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation. This report discusses the nature and skills of the unemployed and underemployed, and presents tables of demographic information. While a fair percentage of Alaskan native youth receive some vocational training, the utilization of this training is uncertain. It is believed that young adults (16-30 years of age) comprise the largest...

Differences in underemployment, defined as employment below one's actual or potential skill level, were investigated for a stratified random sample of 602 individuals representing an estimated labor force of 410,074 in the Tidewater area. Data were obtained by questionnaire and were analyzed according to occupational level, job attitudes, job promotion, and occupational aspiration. It was found that the present occupational level was significantly affected by race and/or sex. Promotions...

Demographic surveys and data could be used to assess programs and policies directly and indirectly concerned with the reduction of poverty, and, through the use of such survey data, to point to a number of population subgroupings which are or are not moving out of poverty. Annually collected Census Bureau facts, the basis of much of the analysis presented in this paper, can be used to make more intelligent program-decision progress in the war against poverty. These facts, organized in terms of...

Recent redesigning of manpower programs reflects the shift toward the job and income approach to fighting poverty. Because money spent to provide jobs will ultimately reduce welfare costs, practically all manpower programs have undergone or will undergo significant redesign. This report was prepared to supply community development personnel and the general public with detailed information about these developments and to provide some analysis of their impact. Major emphasis is placed on the...

As a result of JOBS disadvantaged, unemployed, and underemployed persons have been elevated above poverty income levels, families of trainees involved in the program have benefited, and other public manpower programs have increased their role and have begun to...

The problem of moving workers from one community to another is not a new topic, but it is a little studied one. Much research has been done on the demographic characteristics of migrants, but there are very few studies of the sociopsychological characteristics of migration. In this study, the importance placed by the relocated individual on various kinds of opportunity structures is analyzed along with the changing perceived social status in the sending and receiving communities. The data from...

The growth, prosperity, and viability of the new African nations will depend ultimately on their ability to develop systematically and to utilize effectively their human resources. The major human resource problems are 1) rising unemployment in urban areas, 2) under-employment of the rural masses, 3) shortages of strategic skills, 4) poorly geared educational systems, and 5) excessively high rates of population growth. The required development strategies would include labor-intensive employment...

Dichotomous poverty is defined by taking an arbitrary standard of consumption capability as a dividing line between rich and poor. An investigation into dichotomous poverty below the 2000 dollar level will be worthwhile, since, in 1953, the Planning Board announced as a goal the attempt to lift all families above this margin. In 1953, 78 percent of the families had an income below the 2000 dollar dichotomous poverty threshold. Forty-six percent did not reach it in 1963, and 39 percent did not...

The combined impact of all federally assisted manpower programs in the Atlanta area was evaluated, with emphasis on outreach, eligibility, identification of needs and abilities, and screening for course assignment.

The study of manpower requirements has received much attention since 1960, but it may be argued that the results of these studies did not come up to the expectations of those involved in the conduct of manpower research. The high percentage of unemployed professionals we are now experiencing brings us to formulate vigorous objections toward certain economic theories concerning the rate of return on education. The expectations of higher education would be less deceiving if a body of information...
