Panel V: Displaced Workers: Appalachian Case Studies.

Appalachia, v17 n5-6 p35-40 May-Aug 1984

Discussions centered on circumstances faced by laid-off workers in Portsmouth, Ohio, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Upper Cumberland, Tennessee, and Gary, West Virginia. These diverse Appalachian communities are prototypes of the extent of local distress imposed by the impersonal workings of the market and the absence of precedents for dealing with widespread dislocation.
