Earning Patterns Of Mexican Workers In The Southern Region: A Focus On Nonmetro/Metro Distinctions, Rogelio Saenz Dec 2000

Earning Patterns Of Mexican Workers In The Southern Region: A Focus On Nonmetro/Metro Distinctions, Rogelio Saenz

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

The last few years have witnessed a tremendous change in the geographic location patterns of the Mexican population in the United States. The rural South represents one of the areas that have seen a noticeable growth in the Mexican population over the last few years. Unfortunately, data necessary to examine the social and economic adjustment of Mexicans in this area are not available at this time. This analysis uses data from the 1990 Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) to examine the earnings patterns bf Mexican-origin workers in the South. The sample used to conduct the analysis includes 9,509 Mexican-origin workers …

Migration In The Nonmetropolitan South, Mark Nord, John Cromartie Dec 2000

Migration In The Nonmetropolitan South, Mark Nord, John Cromartie

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Data from multiple sources are analyzed to provide a picture of domestic migration patterns, characteristics of migrants, and effects of migration on poverty and human capital in the rural South during the 1990s. Migration trends in the 1990s were quite favorable for the rural South. Net migration was positive and substantial and represented a gain of people in their early career years including a disproportionate share of young families. The "brain drain" that characterized the 1980s has at least slowed, and possibly stopped. The comparative advantage of rural areas is increasingly found in their natural amenities and low population densities …


Job Search, Employment Density, And The Rate Of Exit Of Unemployment In Nonmetropolitan Labor Markets, Bradford F. Mills Dec 2000

Job Search, Employment Density, And The Rate Of Exit Of Unemployment In Nonmetropolitan Labor Markets, Bradford F. Mills

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Little is known about the influences that employment density and other local labor-market conditions have on transitions from unemployment to employment in nonmetropolitan areas. The empirical job search model developed in this paper finds that individual characteristics, unemployment rates, commuting patterns, and trade and service sector growth all significantly influence the rate of exit of unemployment following job loss. Measures of local labor-market density, by contrast, appear to have little direct impact on the rate of exit of unemployment. The results of the paper suggest that the differential targeting of remote areas with job search assistance for displaced workers is …

Composition And Anaerobic Digestion Of Single And Combined Organic Fractions Of Municipal Solid Waste Of Dar Es Salaam, A K Kivaisi, J Mukisa Dec 2000

Composition And Anaerobic Digestion Of Single And Combined Organic Fractions Of Municipal Solid Waste Of Dar Es Salaam, A K Kivaisi, J Mukisa

Tanzania Journal of Science

The composition of major categories of municipal solid waste (MSW) of Dar es salaam city was determined. Food remains and vegetable matter constituted 80-90% of the categories. Organic fractions of the individual categories contained 18-20 % total solid (TS), 30-50 % (dry weight) total fibre and 1-1.3 % nitrogen. The assorted organic fractions were tested for anaerobic conversion into biogas at 55°C in batch cultures for 14 days with a mixed population of microorganisms. At a substrate concentration of 6-8 g volatile solids per litre fermenter volume (g VS l-1 FV) individual fractions were degraded by 51-75% and gave methane …
