This report is intended to provide practitioners and policymakers with a thorough history of efforts to link employment and training programs, community development programs, small business development programs, minority enterprise development programs, and economic development programs. The report contains three sections. Section 1 is an essay on economic development and employment and training coordination. Section 2 contains more than 20 annotated readings that deal with federally based coordination efforts in community development, economic development, employment and training, rural and Indian reservation development, and small and minority businesses development. Each annotation contains the report topic, scope and method of research, findings, and source. Section 3 contains an annotated list of more than 130 reports, articles, and books of readings related to the above categories. Eight standard bibliographic indexes and 35 research organizations and associations were contacted in order to compile the materials cited in the report. These resources are listed in appendix A, while appendix B contains a list of common acronyms used in the annotations. The report is part of the work on a 2-year evaluation of the Targeted Jobs Demonstration Program (TJDP), which is being conducted by Rutgers University. (KC)
