OCCUPATIONAL SKILLS AND CIVIL DEFENSE,

Abstract

Detailed knowledge of local distributions of industrial skills and nationwide patterns of employment is useful preattack in analyzing industrial vulnerability and postattack in allocating labor resources. A method for estimating occupation-industry distribution, by census tract, is proposed and used in a hypothetical attack on San Jose, California, to investigate selective survival of occupational skills. A matrix of occupations, by industry, is presented for the entire United States. The types of analyses that can be undertaken using the matrix are discussed. (Author)
