Survey of Philadelphia High School Dropouts. 1974-75.
Kemp, Edith S.
This booklet contains a number of tables that summarize data on the employment and educational status of Philadelphia high school dropouts as of September 1975. Data for the survey were gathered through questionnaires completed by 1,306 individuals who dropped out of high school during the 1974-75 school year. Also included are several tables that compare data on 1974-75 dropouts with data from a similar survey conducted a year earlier. A sample of the survey questionnaire is included as well. Among its other findings, the survey revealed that 26 percent of the respondents were working, 20 percent were in school, 9 percent were in the Armed Forces, 42 percent were unemployed and looking for work, and 7 percent were unemployed and not looking for work.
