The Job Search of Ghetto Workers.
Bureau of Labor Statistics (DOL), New York, NY.
This fourth report in a series summarizing findings from the Urban Employment Survey examines how jobseekers living in the major poverty areas of New York City go about looking for work. The survey was designed to develop information on employment, unemployment, and work-related problems of the working-age population in these areas. The data discussed in this report cover the jobseeking methods used by 48,000 persons 16 years of age and over who were unemployed or looking for better jobs in the year ending June 1969. Sources of job information used included newspapers, public and private employment agencies, community organizations, and inquiries to employers, friends, and relatives. The methods most frequently used tended to be direct application to employers, inquiries to friends and relatives, and newspaper want ads. Figures on the persons, areas, occupations, and jobseeking methods used are detailed in this report. (MF)
