computer data was available at the Department of Trade and
Economic Office for approxi ately six months. Contact
person is David Nelson. Ko opchak presented the committee
members with a copy of the rigina1 questions and a
summarized percentage respo se of those questions. Those
percentages reflexed the su vey results as summarized by Business
Development Services. Inc. Monticello labor market is well-
educated, willing to learn, and of a mixed age group.
Koropchak informed the IDC hat it was difficult to establish
a labor trend because the m thod of surveyed area was not
consistent with that of 198. The IDC felt the use of actual
survey numbers compared to he surveyed population would
assist potential industries of our available labor force
rather than the use of perc ntages.
