  "should he count the number of persons who want but cannot find jobs or only the number who have lost jobs because of declining business activity? What shall be the tests of inability to find jobs? Should unemployment be measured by man-hours lost instead of by number of persons out of work? Should partial employment, in terms of hours, or underemployment, in terms of income in relation to skill, be included in the measure? Does unemployment exist when a worker is assigned below his maximum skifi level or when his service is wasted because of inefficient methods of production?... Efforts to measure the number of employables out of work, the number able and willing to work, or the number for whom jobs should be provided, all came close to foundering on the rocks of controversy over techniques and definitions." --- Gertrude Bancroft "Current Unemployment Statistics of the Census Bureau and Some Alternatives" _The Measurement and Behavior of Unemployment_ pp 63, 65

  "The great wave of Latin American immigration began in the 1970s [after Hart-Celler-Kennedy IANA1965]. The bulk of America's 35M foreign born -- including both high-skilled and menial workers -- came in the last quarter-century, after the United States was well launched on its transition to a post-industrial economy." --- Christopher Caldwell 2009 _Reflections on the Revolution in Europe: Immigration, Islam and the West_ pp35-36

  "[William F. Massy] and co-author Charles Goldman report that '…faculty express concern about the labor market for Ph.D.s and will do what they can to place their own students -- but their concern does not lead to adjustments in doctoral student intakes. Faculty tend to believe that more scientifically-trained manpower is better than less, and that job opportunities will materialize somehow. In any case, the department’s short-run requirements for inexpensive research and teaching labor, and the desire of faculty to replicate their own skills, is of stronger relevance to admissions decisions than the more abstract and distant concept of labor market balance.' Massy and Goldman found that the primary factors used to determine Ph.D. program size are the number of faculty advisors available, the number of teaching assistants needed for staffing classes, the amount of research money available for funding assistantships, and the quality of the applicant pool." --- Geoff Davis 1997 November "Mathematicians and the Market" _Notices of the American Mathematical Society_ pp 1308-1309 (2-3 in pdf) (citing William F. Massey & Charles A. Goldman 1995 August "The production and utilization of science and engineering doctorates in the United States" _Stanford Institute for Higher Education Research_)
