The Impact Of Inflation On Selected Wage And Salary Groups In The Richmond Area, Carl Edward Tucker

Master's Theses

One of the greatest economic problems existing in the United States today is inflation. This problem is magnified because our population is still growing, there are changes taking place in methods of production, and property and wealth are being re-distributed.

Americans continually want more things which are bigger and better and they are willing to go in debt to have them. They want more and bigger automobiles, highways, more services, better schools, and more leisure time. The effective demand sometimes has a way of getting ahead of the capacity to produce. With this demand for goods, prices continue to rise …

The Influence Of British Capital On The Cattle Industry Of The Panhandle-Plains Area Of West Texas And Eastern New Mexico, Martyn R. P. Naylor

Anderson School of Management Theses & Dissertations

This thesis was written with the purpose in mind of bringing together in one place the available data on British capital invested in the cattle industry of the Panhandle-Plains area of West Texas and eastern New Mexico. There seems to have been little awareness in this region of the part played in the development of the Southwest funds from England and Scotland, and so much a study was felt necessary to fill the gap that existed in the history of the cattle industry.

Job Analysis And Evaluation Program For The City Of Albuquerque, Everett Dillman

Anderson School of Management Theses & Dissertations

Organizational dynamics is a never-ending process. Change must of necessity beget further change if even the status quo of effectiveness is to be maintained. Personnel procedures and policies that are appropriate for a small organization may not suffice for the large. The expanding unit should subject its personnel policies to detailed periodic examinations. Policies and procedures found to be deficient should be revised and new programs devised to solve the newly-founded problem areas.

This study was conducted on a selected medical unit of the Loma Linda Sanitarium and Hospital. The normative survey method as recommended by the Division of Nursing Resources was used. The morning and afternoon head nurses or their reliefs were …

The Biology Of The Utah Chub, Gila Atraria (Girard), Of Scofield Reservoir, Utah, Harold F. Olson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The Utah chub is one of the most important non-game fish in Utah. It has a wide range, and occurs in every drainage in Utah. The Utah chub is not important economically as food fish nor is it of much value commercially. The sportsmen think of this species as trash and do not consider catching or consuming them. However, the Utah chub may be caught on hook and line more readily than many game species. The Utah chub in Scofield Reservoir have been caught by trolling, bait fishing and fly casting and furnish considerable sport when caught with a light …

Area Wage Differentials : A Study Of Compensation Of Nonmanagement Personnel In Virginia, Francis Brownell Avery

Master's Theses

This paper is a study of area differentials, within the State of Virginia, in the compensation of non management; employees and the effect of "Cost-of-Living" upon wage differentials. Basically, area differential in wages means the difference between wage rates for the same job in different communities. There is a definite differential in wage payments for a given job in the various regions within the State of Virginia. Some times they appear to be almost incomprehensibly out of line. However, as this paper develops, the reasons for these differences may become clear. Certainly their existence will be apparent. A given job …
