Abstract
The Institute for Public Policy and Business Research at the University of Kansas conducted a survey of newly hired employees in Lawrence/Douglas County in December 1990 with a follow-up survey in February 1991. The main goal was to generate meaningful input variables for a cost-benefit model to be used in assessing property tax abatements. Within this framework, the survey focused on a few key questions:
(1) Proportion of new residents (in-migrants) associated with new local job opportunities generated by a new plant.
(2) Number of present and future school-aged children to be expected from new employees.
(3) Proportion of newly hired employees which are commuting to Douglas County for work and have an out-of-county residence.
(4) Household size of newly hired employees, in particular new residents.
(5) Occupational categories of new employees.
(6) Previous employment status (employed, unemployed, new labor force entrant, etc.)
