| Abstract | The Milwaukee Model Cities Agency was established to achieve, through citizen participation, substantial improvement in the quality of life of the people living in the inner cities. Basically this study examined the present employment and earning status of 78 former employees of the administrative section of the program. Data collected included information on (a) present income as compared to income before model cities employment, (b) job stability, and (c) period of training. The two most important variables are years of additional education and wage gains. A mailed questionnaire was sent to the 78 former employees. Of the 78, 22 or 30% responded, 11 males and 11 females. The questionnaire was divided into four sections; (1) education and training, (2) evaluation of model cities working experience, (3) quality of life, and (4) personal data. Results indicated that there was a strong relationship between additional education and salary gains. However, the extent to which any attempt can be made to determine the real benefits of educational improvement sponsored by model cities is doubtful. There are many intangible variables and what cannot be ascertained at a given point in time are the effects that present educational levels may have upon future productivity. (Author/AM) |
