Local government manpower requirements and training needs as related to the process of community development in South Carolina are discussed in this preparatory report. The process of community development is defined in terms of the responsibilities of major public, quasi-public, and private participants with an emphasis on the role of local government. Community responsibility units are grouped into political-legal, social, and physical areas. Core occupations for each unit are specified, and educational and skill requirements are enumerated. Significant employment patterns for the four general levels of occupations in terms of manpower sources, attrition, attitudes, and motivation are given. (For related document, see AC 012 621.)
