ENSCAN 87: Environmental Scanning Report for Fiscal Year 1987. Volume I: The County. Report PB87-1.
Clagett, Craig A.
As part of a comprehensive environmental scan prepared by Prince George's Community College (PGCC) in Maryland, this report reviews county population trends and forecasts, county and metropolitan area economic trends and forecasts, and college credit enrollment projections. First, population figures and projections for Prince George's County are presented, using an age cohort model to project county population, enrollment rate, student headcount, average credit load, and credit hours generated. In addition, information is presented on population migration patterns, changing racial composition, and income characteristics. Implications of these data for PGCC are discussed. Next, the economic status of the county and of the Washington metropolitan area is assessed, and information on high demand occupations is provided. The remainder of the report consists of data displays, covering: (1) national trends in workforce demographics, economic conditions, job outlook, changing age distribution, and educational consequences; (2) county population trends with respect to patterns of growth, migration patterns, racial composition, population changes, black population characteristics, and family income changes; (3) county and area economies with regard to projected county employment, patterns of employment growth, public and private employment, metropolitan area occupational distribution, and unemployment rates; and (4) PGCC age cohort model enrollment projections showing stable and declining enrollment rates.
