The Changing Occupational Structure of Amish Males.
Kreps, George M.; And Others
Rural Sociology, v59 n4 p708-19 Win 1994
Surveys of businesses and adult Amish males in Holmes and Wayne counties (Ohio) indicate that farming is declining as the primary occupation for Amish males and that the Amish occupational structure is becoming more complex as more Amish males work away from home. Possible impacts on Amish society, such as increased need for formal education, are discussed. (SV)
