RESULTS ON EMPLOYMENT PROBLEMS IN AMERICA

THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEMONSTRAT THE FEASIBILITY FOR CONDUCTING A HISTORICAL SEARCH OF THE EMPLOYMENT LITERATURE TO IDENTIFY ALL STUDIES DEALING WITH THE EMPLOYMENT PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES. THE STUDIES WILL BE CATALOGED AND A SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF EACH STUDY WILL BE COMBINED INTO A CROSS-REFERENCED, INDEXED, AND TABULATED "EMPLOYMENT PROBLEM" ABSTRACT. THE ABSTRACT WILL PROVIDE A READY REFERENCE GUIDE TO GOVERNMENT, INDUSTRY, RESEARCHERS, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF SUCCESSFUL AND REPLICABLE TECHNIQUES AND MODELS. THE GRANTEE'S PREVIOUS RESEARCH IN EMPLOYMENT MATTERS COUPLED WITH EVENTS IN THE LITERATURE HAS SHOWN THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR A SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS OF THIS PROJECT THAT COULD BE PACKAGED INTO POLISHED FORM FOR DISSEMINATION AND USE BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR. FERMAN (1966) RECOMMENDED THAT PRIORITY BE GIVEN TO ESTABLISHING A CLEARING HOUSE FOR EQUAL EMPLOYMENT STUDIES, AND BE DESIGNED TO RECORD PAST, PRESENT AND ANTICIPATED EMPLOYMENT STUDIES. (1) THIS STUDY PROPOSES TO ADVANCE THE RECOMMENDATION OF FERMAN AND TO FILL THE VOID IN THE LITERATURE IN THIS AREA.
