Abstract:

It is most critical that the Jewish community recognize that protracted economic change augurs a continuing need to deliver placement services to middle-income unemployed beyond the current period of reported economic recovery. While some community leaders are experiencing growth in their own businesses, technological and economic currents are altering the landscape of industrial and corporate development, while federal deficit remediation is inhibiting the non-profit service sector.
