Public Service Employment and Rural America
1977
Martin, Philip L.
Public service employment programs are manpower instruments that provide income and transitional employment in times of high unemployment. Despite annual expenditures of nearly $@@‐@@1 billion since 1971, little attention has been directed toward the rural‐urban distribution of public employment funds. After establishing alternative allocation formulae, actual allocations are compared with hypothetical allocations for public employment programs since 1971. The results indicate that rural areas did not obtain public employment funds in proportion to their shares of total unemployment. Reasons for the observed pattern of allocations are explored, and alternative allocating criteria to increase funds available to rural areas are discussed.
