Florida Learning Resources System/Suncoast Associate Center, Sarasota.
Presented are the results of a survey involving personnel directors from 271 local firms in Manatee and Sarasota Counties (Florida) on the employment of the physically impaired, visually impaired, hearing impaired, and mentally retarded. Included are brief descriptions of the goals of the survey and the sampling technique used, and a sample survey packet with handicap definitions. Favorable data is summarized for each of 14 job clusters (such as construction/building and government). Also provided for each job cluster are tables with statistical data related to the analysis of labor market returns, potential job positions which are available to handicapped persons, total firms reporting jobs, and training preference of personnel directors reporting jobs suitable for handicapped persons. Comments made by personnel directors are provided for each job cluster. In addition, a table is presented which lists alphabetically jobs for the handicapped and a table on overall responses to the labor market survey. It is noted that the survey results may be helpful in vocational counseling for exceptional students and their parents. (SBH)
