Abstract

A report is presented of a study which develops a methodology to estimate the magnitude of unemployment that may be expected as a result of plant closures caused by pollution abatement requirements. This study is directed at the very small minority of plants that might reduce or cease operations and thereby lay off their employees. The report specifies the types of financial assistance required to avoid closure, and describes the kinds of plants affected and programs which might be instituted, should the need arise. The study also provided insights into the appropriate types of Federal Government response, should the magnitude of unemployment warrant action. (Author)
