From October 24 through December 2, 1994, residents in 491 central city Milwaukee households were interviewed to solicit information on their employment status, methods used to hunt for jobs, and perceived barriers to employment. A total of 317 women and 174 men of working age (18 through 59) were interviewed. The survey was conducted concurrently with a survey of Milwaukee area employers, collecting data on job openings, location of jobs, wages offered, and education and training requirements. These surveys are part of an intergovernmental Labor Market Study Project designed to increase the employment of Milwaukee area residents and to improve education and training programs for workers.
