Underemployment as a Criterion for Special Eda Benefits, with Special Reference to Rural Counties*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 April 2015
Extract
A visit by the Director of one of the Economic Development Districts in Oklahoma motivated this study. Because of declining unemployment prior to 1970, several counties in his district had lost special funding under Titles I and IV of the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 (PL 89-163). The director contended that substantial poverty and other signs of economic and social distress persisted in previously designated EDA counties, and that a new criterion (specifically underemployment) was needed to gear benefits to real needs.
