The Projected Impact of the Fisher Body Plant upon the Kalamazoo Labor Market

Abstract

It is the intention here to project the impact of the new Fisher Body plant upon the Kalamazoo labor market. Since construction was begun in February of 1965, only a small labor force has been acquired, with complete operation set fer late in 1967. While it is impossible to know at this point what will actually occur in the labor market, the writer has attempted in the short time allotted to him to ascertain the present market situation and then to project the labor requirements of Fisher Body unto it.
