The Potential Additional Supply Of Labor Available To The Omaha Smsa: Summary, Lawrence A. Danton
Publications
The purpose of this study is to determine from the best information available the potential supply of labor available to present and prospective employers in the community composing the Omaha SMSA. In doing so certain well established trends provide the starting point. First is the basic long-term shift in the industry employment patterns of the United States. That is, with the long term industrialization of the U.S. economy that has been taking place since the Civil War, there has been a continuous shift from agricultural to nonagricultural employment.

The Changing Population Of The Omaha Smsa 1860-1967 With Estimates For 1970, John P. Zipay
Publications
During the Twentieth Century, the growth of population in the Omaha SMSA has been greatest in the post-war period.

Much of this increase has resulted from cycles of residential construction in the fringes of the urbanized area, a situation known as urban sprawl. This sprawl has taken place in each of the three counties comprising the SMSA, but most significantly it has occurred in the territory west and south of the city of Omaha. A considerable portion of the population of the SMSA now exists …

The purpose of these interviews was to facilitate preparation of a community action program in Omaha capable of attacking some of the root causes of poverty and improving the conditions, present and future, of those families who were its victims. Quite …

They are all traditional, coming; to us for the most part from England or by way of England. The many versions indicate the local adaptations made during their travels to us from the Eastern Seaboard States.
