A study examined the socioeconomic characteristcs, family and social supportive services, economic and social difficulties, education and training levels, and ways in which dislocated workers in Maryland found reemployment. Data were collected from in-depth personal interviews with 9 dislocated workers, questionnaires administered to 45 unemployed dislocated workers who were just entering an AFL-CIO-sponsored job club program, a second questionnaire administered to 34 of those 45 persons 6 weeks after completion of the job club program, and extended telephone interviews of 34 of the phase 3 interviewees about 10 months later. The dislocated workers studied turned out to be generally younger, more highly educated, and more economically well off than might have been expected. Although age, years of residence in Maryland, marital status, and level of education did not appear to influence chance of reemployment, race and age did turn out to be significant. Those who found employment in all four phases had to take substantial pay and benefit cuts. Those who remained unemployed after completing the job club program reported increased family stress, personal depression, and emerging financial problems and need for assistance with food and medical bills. The workers rated new training and job skills as important factors in their ultimate success in finding reemployment. Despite the training in job search methods provided through the job club, networking among fellow dislocated workers and reemployed friends seemed to provide the primary avenue for reemployment. A two-page bibliography concludes the document. (MN)
