One casualty was a subcontractor of the British commercial company. This was a Palestinian who was an “owner/driver” and went back to try to get his truck out. The ex-pats trying to organise an orderly withdrawal saw him and his truck “vaporised”. Two KMOD soldiers and another individual were also reported to have been killed. (Only the driver is recorded in this database because he was an indirect employee of the British demining company: the status of the others is unknown.)

Evaluation Of The Impact Of Wisconsin's Learnfare Experiment On The School Attendance Of Teenagers Receiving Afdc (1992), John Pawasarat, Lois M. Quinn, Frank Stetzer
ETI Publications
In June 1988 the Wisconsin legislature authorized that an independent evaluation of the state’s “Learnfare” experiment be conducted, and in July 1989 the Employment and Training Institute secured the contract for this evaluation after a competitive bidding process. This report meets the requirement of the contract to provide a report on the state’s activities during the first two years of the “Learnfare” federal waiver. The “Learnfare” evaluation design approved by the state and federal governments in December, 1989, for completion on June 30, 1993, is testing four main hypotheses: that “Learnfare” increases the total school attendance of teenage AFDC recipients, …

This research study provides empirical data on the employment experience of young African American men who entered the Wisconsin labor force in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Its goal was to examine the early labor force experience of 17,216 young men from poor families, matching state wage databases against individuals identified in the state income maintenance system (i.e., households applying for or receiving food stamps, AFDC or medical assistance, 1987-1989). The study analyzed 36,005 jobs held by the study population over five quarters. The vast majority of African American men in their early twenties who were employed were relegated …
The Employment Status Of Young Adult Black Males Residing In Poverty Households: Recent Milwaukee County Experience, Harold M. Rose
The Employment Status Of Young Adult Black Males Residing In Poverty Households: Recent Milwaukee County Experience, Harold M. Rose
ETI Publications
Harold Rose, UWM professor of Geography and Urban Studies, examined the findings of the Employment and Training Institute analysis of employment held by 8,479 young African American males from Wisconsin families seeking or receiving public assistance (AFDC, food stamps, and/or medical assistance) in 1987-1989. Rose discusses the findings in light of a wide variety of perspectives by drawing on national literature addressing social and economic changes in the 1980s, welfare dependency, conditions in inner city Milwaukee, labor force participation rates, extended presence of young black males in parental households, employment sectors, subpopulations’ earnings history, attachment to the labor force, school …

The Labor Market Experience Of Young African American Men From Low-Income Households, Ronald S. Edari
ETI Publications
The target population for this study is 5,800 young African American males living in households where one or more members applied for public assistance. Their employment records are tracked for 39 months. The critical question was to examine what happened to these youths upon reaching maturity. Dr. Ronald Edari, UWM Professor of Sociology and Urban Studies, observes that while modest in scope, this paper is intended to counter-balance in some measure the recent voluminous literature on work and welfare, whose conservative thrust has tended to focus on the debilitating characteristics of individuals rather than industries. The paper examines employment, earnings …

In Search Of A Strong Agenda: An Interview With Kenneth M. Curtis, Kenneth Curtis
In Search Of A Strong Agenda: An Interview With Kenneth M. Curtis, Kenneth Curtis
Maine Policy Review
In an interview this fall with Maine Policy Review, Kenneth Curtis, the former governor, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and former U.S. ambassador to Canada, shared his insights into the civic and political life of Maine and the nation. Not surprisingly, Curtis, currently president of Maine Maritime Academy, argues that many attitudes about the ineffectiveness and the unresponsiveness of government could be overcome by strong leadership from the executives of federal and state governments. He asserts that federal and state chief executives need to offer a vision of the future, put forth strong political agendas, and then …

General Equilibrium Of A Regional Economy With A Financial Sector - Part Ii: A Simple Behavioral Model, Merritt R. Hughes
General Equilibrium Of A Regional Economy With A Financial Sector - Part Ii: A Simple Behavioral Model, Merritt R. Hughes
Merritt R Hughes
Simple behavioral assumptions are incorporated into an accounting framework that provides linked budget and balance sheets for sectors of a regional economy. A short-run Keynesian-type model is developed where quantities rather than prices adjust, and where regional prices and interest rates are equal to national levels. The analysis highlight the importance of the financial services sector as an active factor in regional growth. Consumer deposits and debt preferences, and limitations imposed on credit extension by the financial services sector can have important effects on the regional economy as evidenced by changes in the export multiplier.
