| 520 | |a A study was conducted to determine if dislocated workers in Minnesota felt they had sufficient reading and mathematics skills to obtain new employment or enter retraining programs. A representative group of 168 dislocated workers who had been employed in manufacturing, taconite mining, lumber, and farming were interviewed from June through September 1986, with follow-up interviews conducted with 119 workers from 6 to 9 months later. Some of the findings of the research were as follows: (1) most dislocated workers did not envision making radical changes in their occupations; (2) about half of the workers intended to enroll in retraining, with older workers less inclined to seek retraining; (3) groups of workers varied in their perceptions of the importance of reading and mathematics in their former and future jobs; (4) 80 percent of workers thought that co-workers needed remedial programs in mathematics and reading, but that they themselves did not; and (5) workers recommended that policies should be implemented to protect workers' jobs and benefits, give advance warning of closings, extend unemployment benefits, improve helping agencies, and retrain workers on the job. The study concluded that recommendations regarding basic skills and job training could be implemented without major changes in policy, programs, or funding. (KC) | ||
