The Unemployment Impacts of the Population Turnaround in Northern Lower Michigan.

West, Patrick C.; And Others

Rural Sociology, v52 n4 p522-31 Win 1987

Census data and mailed questionnaires were used to test three hypotheses about unemployment impacts: labor-market infusion, labor-market overload; and a balance of positive and negative impacts differing with occupational status. Results showed that blue-collar persons--both newcomers and long-term residents--experienced much higher unemployment rates than did white-collar persons. (JHZ)
