Estimating The Potential Available Labor Supply For Mid-Sized Iowa Communities, Randal Robert Pilkington Jan 1998

Estimating The Potential Available Labor Supply For Mid-Sized Iowa Communities, Randal Robert Pilkington

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This thesis presents a case study approach to estimate the potential supply of available workers within a laborshed or sub-labor market area. Current labor data are not adequate to estimate the supply of labor and its characteristics in mid-sized Iowa communities. In addition, low unemployment rates are not reflective of the willingness of workers to change jobs. Estimates of underemployment are also missing from any current labor data.

The methodology for this study consisted of conducting a random survey of the potential available labor force for a mid-sized Iowa community's laborshed, defined as the nodal region from which a community …

The Egypt-Palestine/Israel Boundary: 1841-1992, Thabit Abu-Rass Jan 1992

The Egypt-Palestine/Israel Boundary: 1841-1992, Thabit Abu-Rass

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

In 1841, with the involvement of European powers, the Ottoman Empire distinguished by Firman territory subject to a Khedive of Egypt from that subject more directly to Istanbul. With British pressure in 1906, a more formal boundary was established between Egypt and Ottoman Palestine. This study focuses on these events and on the history from 1841 to the present. The study area includes the Sinai peninsula and extends from the Suez Canal in the west to what is today southern Israel from Ashqelon on the Mediterranean to the southern shore of the Dead Sea in the east. Both alterations in …

The original forests in the study area were concentrated along the rivers and adjacent bluffs. The most serious impacts to the upland forests have been agriculture, residential and commercial development, whereas the floodplain forests have been most affected by industrial expansion, gravel mining, flood …
