Abstract
Abstract A systematic random sample of 1,493 adult residents was drawn from a multicounty area in southeast Ohio to test the relevance of a human resources development model for understanding unemployment status. Selected variables were correlated with length of unemployment and discriminant analysis was used to compare socio‐economic characteristics of unemployed and employed heads‐of‐house‐hold. The findings revealed that the variables selected for analysis were very poor predictors of employment status. A combined human resources‐structural perspective is suggested for consideration in regional development efforts implemented within lesser developed regions such as the one under study.
