A Late Quaternary Pollen Record From Cedarburg Bog, Wisconsin, Glen G. Fredlund, James R. Brozowski, Jong Woo Oh
A Late Quaternary Pollen Record From Cedarburg Bog, Wisconsin, Glen G. Fredlund, James R. Brozowski, Jong Woo Oh
Field Station Bulletins
Late Quaternary (from the last glaciation to present) forest history is inferred from the Cedarburg Bog fossil pollen record. Analysis of fossil pollen samples extend over 4 meters of continuous core recovered from near the center of the bog. The deepest and oldest of the fossil pollen assemblages (ca. 12,000 years ago) suggest open spruce woodlands unlike any in the contemporary boreal ecosystem. Pollen from the Pleistocene-Holocene transition (11,000 years ago) is marked by a number of abrupt changes in forest composition related to rapid climate change, species immigration, and progressive soils and ecosystem maturation. By 9,000 years ago most …
Life Cycle Patterns In Wisconsin Spiders, Joan P. Jass
Life Cycle Patterns In Wisconsin Spiders, Joan P. Jass
Field Station Bulletins
Five life cycle patterns in spiders are described and examples given. The most common pattern, maturation and mating in spring and early summer, is elaborated with a detailed description of the seasonal development of Philodromus cespitum. The four other patterns are exemplified by the following southeastern Wisconsin species: Argiope trifasciata--fall mating, Centromerus sylvaticus-- winter mating, Trochosa terricola--two mating seasons, and Pholcus phalangioides--year round mating.
Amphipods (Exclusive Of Pontoporeiidae) Of Southeastern Wisconsin, Joan Jass, Barbara Klausmeier
Amphipods (Exclusive Of Pontoporeiidae) Of Southeastern Wisconsin, Joan Jass, Barbara Klausmeier
Field Station Bulletins
Eight species of amphipods in the families Crangonyctidae (five species), Gammaridae (two species) and Hyalellidae (one species) are recorded here from a 21 county area in southeastern Wisconsin. Excluded from this survey were members of the family Pontoporeiidae, deepwater species previously collected in this region only from Lake Michigan and Green Lake (Juday and Birge 1927). In the species treatments we combine data from our fieldwork with information given in Bousfield (1958), Holsinger (1972), and other literature as cited.

Concentration Of Children In Poverty In Milwaukee County Neighborhoods, John Pawasarat
Concentration Of Children In Poverty In Milwaukee County Neighborhoods, John Pawasarat
ETI Publications
The Employment and Training Institute was asked to provide a detailed demographic analysis of the population on public assistance and the working poor not receiving public assistance in Milwaukee County. Computerized records of families and individuals receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), food stamps and medical assistance in 1990, 1993 and 1994 were used to construct a picture of Milwaukee County children on public assistance. The Milwaukee County "working poor" population, including families both on and off public assistance, was examined using 1993 income tax data especially generated by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, detailing the earnings of …
Background Paper On Institutional Data And U.S. Census Counts Of Low-Income Populations In Milwaukee County, John Pawasarat
Background Paper On Institutional Data And U.S. Census Counts Of Low-Income Populations In Milwaukee County, John Pawasarat
ETI Publications
Comparisons of institutional data and the U.S. census estimates for the same or similar time periods revealed a large undercount of AFDC recipients. For both the CPS and decennial census surveys, respondents are asked to recall earnings and other sources of income for the previous calendar year. As a result, income reporting to the Census Bureau is subject to memory error and under-reporting. Errors due to under-reporting are most pronounced for income not derived from earnings (i.e., public assistance, interest, dividends). Discrepancies between U. S. Census estimates for the public assistance population compared to actual payment records from state public …

Analysis Of Milwaukee County Jtpa Title Iia Participants: 1988-1994, John Pawasarat
ETI Publications
The Employment and Training Institute has worked with the Private Industry Council (PIC) of Milwaukee County to prepare analysis of JTPA Title IIA participant outcomes over time. This report analyzes data on all JTPA Title IIA participants in Milwaukee County for a seven-year period and tracks their wage history using the employee wage records retrieved from the Department of Industry, Labor and Human Relations for First Quarter 1988 through Second Quarter 1994. The PIC has served increasingly difficult populations in the Title IIA JTPA programs, including long-term AFDC recipients (up from 16 percent of clients in CY 1988 to 25 …
Demographics Of Milwaukee County Populations Expected To Work Under Proposed Welfare Reform, John Pawasarat, Lois M. Quinn
Demographics Of Milwaukee County Populations Expected To Work Under Proposed Welfare Reform, John Pawasarat, Lois M. Quinn
ETI Publications
The Employment and Training Institute was asked to provide a detailed demographic analysis of Milwaukee County cases on public assistance and the working poor to assist policy makers in discussions of current welfare reform proposals (referred to as “W-2”). An estimated 30,448 out of 37,415 AFDC cases in Milwaukee County would be expected to work under the state's proposed welfare policy changes while 6,967 cases would be exempt because the casehead is on SSI or caring for another relative's children. Much of the AFDC population is currently employed or has recent labor market attachment. Based on historical and recent caseload …

Thinking About The Future: Job Opportunities - Hmong Translation, University Of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Employment & Training Institute, Mao Vang
ETI Publications
This curriculum booklet was developed for Milwaukee Public Schools by the Employment and Training Institute. Mao Vang, a UWM student, translated the guide into Hmong for use by families and students at Milwaukee Public Schools. The booklet was designed to help students and their parents use local labor market information and resources in their career planning. The economy is constantly changing because of new technology, shifting consumer demands, international developments and changing demographic trends. A "snapshot" of the labor market, based on local job openings surveys of thousands of Milwaukee area employers, is presented to help students "learn how to …
Integrating Milwaukee County Afdc Recipients Into The Local Labor Market, John Pawasarat, Lois M. Quinn
Integrating Milwaukee County Afdc Recipients Into The Local Labor Market, John Pawasarat, Lois M. Quinn
ETI Publications
This report examines the availability of jobs for mothers receiving AFDC and expected to find family-sustaining employment in the private sector under “W-2,” Wisconsin’s new welfare program. Despite the fact that many full and part-time jobs exist in Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington counties, few women in the “W-2” population are likely to secure employment outside Milwaukee County. Census data for· the Milwaukee County population of women ages 18-39 indicated that only 5 percent of African American and Hispanic women (and 11 percent of white women) found work outside the county. Availability of transportation is a problem as only a third …
