SOCIAL-ECONOMIC AND WAGE CHARACTERISTICS OF CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES, ALTUS AIR FORCE BASE, OKLAHOMA

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to determine characteristics which provide broad measures of the levels of living and comparative well being of the civilian labor force at Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma. These social-economic characteristics and the wage distribution of this labor force will provide quantitative relationships which may prove valuable in the inductive process. To help relate data, comparisons will be made of observed phenomena of the Altus civilian employees with other empirical studies and analytically testable hypotheses of certain social-economic character istics, such as commuting, spatial orientation of the labor market area, and labor mobility. Moreover, the direct influence of the Base upon the community will be measured in terms of: (1) wages received by both military and civilian personnel, (2) construction programs on the Base, and (3) Base purchases of other goods and services.
