Abstract

This report was prepared in response to State Agency Issuance No. 108-79, dated Feb. 1, 1979. This SAI was prompted by the June 1978 enactment of a property tax reform initiative in California, more commonly known as Proposition 13. The instructions in the SAI directed SESAS to prepare a packet of labor market information on state and local government in the event tax legislation similar to the California enactment was passed in their states. The prepared information was to provide a background for evaluating the effects on state and local economies caused by reduced hiring and increased layoffs in state and local governments. This report is made up of two parts; employment data and occupational data. Tables 1 and 2 are Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS} data. All state and local government employees are grouped as two units. The employment is not broken out functionally, such as by putting hospital employment in SIC 806, for example. The only breakouts are state and local school and non-school. BLS employment is shown for 1972 through 1978, with 1978 data being preliminary.
