Perceived Barriers To Labor Force Participation Among Welfare Recipients In West Virginia, Melissa Latimer Dec 1998

Perceived Barriers To Labor Force Participation Among Welfare Recipients In West Virginia, Melissa Latimer

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

This research utilizes data collected by the Children's Policy Institute (CPI) of West Virginia in 1993 to identify perceived barriers to labor force participation for families with children receiving AFDC and/or Food Stamps. By merging data on West Virginia from several county-level data sources with the CPI data, this multi-level research identifies the major barriers West Virginia welfare recipients perceive as limiting their labor force participation (i.e., as explaining their current unemployment status). This research also examines how the barriers identified vary among welfare recipients.


Geographic Information Systems: A Tool For Rural Community Research, Sarah Dewees, Timothy Collins Dec 1998

Geographic Information Systems: A Tool For Rural Community Research, Sarah Dewees, Timothy Collins

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Because of their traditional application in the environmental and geological sciences, geographic information systems are not usually considered to be useful tools for rural community research or analysis. The 1990 census made socio-economic data available at the block-group level, however, and this has facilitated the mapping of socio-economic variables in small areas. Insight, explanation, and understanding can come from seeing data in their spatial context. Citizen researchers in the Jackson County, KY, Empowerment Zone used block-group level data in maps of their county to study socio-economic patterns in their communities. This paper provides an example of a way to use …


Agricultural Concentration: An Analysis By Commodity, Don E. Albrecht Dec 1998

Agricultural Concentration: An Analysis By Commodity, Don E. Albrecht

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

One of the most striking consequences of the industrialization of agriculture in the United States is the extent to which production is becoming increasingly concentrated on a relatively few farms. In this study, a human ecological perspective and nationwide census data at the county level from 1982, 1987, and 1992 were used to explore concentration in the dairy, hog, and beef cattle industries. Wide differences were found in the extent of concentration from commodity to commodity and from county to county. It was found that in counties where the production of one commodity is highly concentrated, the production of other …

The Challenge Of Welfare Reform: Earnings And The Cost Of Living In Rural Kentucky, Julie N. Zimmerman, Lorraine Garkovich Dec 1998

The Challenge Of Welfare Reform: Earnings And The Cost Of Living In Rural Kentucky, Julie N. Zimmerman, Lorraine Garkovich

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

The passage in 1996 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunities Act may well mark the single most consequential social legislation of this decade, especially for rural southern families, for it marked a fundamental shift in the welfare system in the U.S. No longer focused on hardship relief, cash assistance now has a work-first focus, with mandatory work requirements and lifetime limits for recipients. Underlying this legislation have been four assumptions about the nature of the labor market and welfare recipients' characteristics and opportunities. This article examines the utility of these assumptions, especially in the context of the regional and …


Violence Prevention In Georgia's Rural Public Schools: Perceptions Of School Superintendents, Chet Ballard Dec 1998

Violence Prevention In Georgia's Rural Public Schools: Perceptions Of School Superintendents, Chet Ballard

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

A survey of school superintendents in 81 public school systems in rural Georgia was conducted to describe strategies being pursued to prevent school violence and promote a safe and disciplined learning environment. Among the surveyed superintendents, there was widespread recognition of school safety as a high priority item and evidence of use of law enforcement and technology to deter violence in schools. Descriptive data analysis suggests that school size and county economic conditions relate to school superintendents’ assessment of school safety and potential for violence. This research addresses a void in the literature on violence in rural schools and provides …

Exploring The Pedigree Of The Watchdog Metaphor, Roy A. Chandler Oct 1998

Exploring The Pedigree Of The Watchdog Metaphor, Roy A. Chandler

Accounting Historians Notebook

The judgement of Lord Lopes, In Kingston Cotton Mill, (The Accountant Law Reports, May 23, 1896, p. 78), produced what is probably the best known quotation in the auditing literature: "the auditor is a watchdog but not a bloodhound." However, his Lordship's use of the canine analogy was not original; he was merely developing upon a phrase in common parlance at the time.

Lower Of Cost Or Market Principle In The Talmud, Gordon Cohn

Accounting Historians Notebook

This paper gives a historical perspective on the lower of cost or market (LCM) pricing system. It shows that a similar system is used in Talmudic literature. The Talmud is the compilation of Jewish oral law. It explains the meanings behind the Torah's verses. The Talmud consists of the Mishna and Gemara. The Mishna was compiled and edited approximately 1,800 years ago. The Gemara was written a few hundred years later. It focuses on presenting commentaries on the Mishna.
