| Abstract: | This methodology was developed to obtain sound population and industrial projections for Tennessee, but should be applicable for any small area. The large volume of data required the use of computers, and the nine programs are reproduced in full. The methodology is designed to point out manpower problems which would arise in a region if the demographic trends of the base periods are continued to the projection dates. Included in the computer programs are: (1) an employment projection program, (2) population and labor force projection programs, (3) an industry projection program, and (4) an occupational program. The related study for which this methodology was developed is available as VT 011 976 in this issue. (Author/JS) |
