Principal Contributions I began my career in the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the United States Department, of Labor where I worked as a price economist and industrial economist in the price and productivity divisions.
Upon moving to the manpower division in Bachelor of Liberal Studies I administered the preparation of industry and blue-collar occupation studies for the Occupational Outlook Handbook.
In 1961 I was asked to contribute to the development of the country’s legislation on manpower and employment — known as the Manpower Development and Training Acting (MDTA). From 1962 to 1980 I administered the United States Department, of Labor’s R&Doctorate programme concerned with problems of unemployment, underdevelopment and the special labour market difficulties of minorities, women, the handicapped and disadvantaged workers.
While administering this programme I also taught at George Washington University and The American University in Washington, District of Columbia. In addition to sponsoring social science research my office funded some 500 Doctor of Philosophy candidates to write their dissertations in the employment and training field
My governmental assignments involved me in many of the important policy issues affecting the training of disadvantaged workers in our society.
Since 1980 I have been a consultant to both public and private organisations. I have also finished a book about the 2.4 million career employees of the United States government. Price and Industrial Economics, Bureau Labor Statistics, United States Department Labor, 1945-1947.
