Article Abstract:

Most job displacement policies have failed to take into account the economic impact of job displacement on families. Home economists have the extensive knowledge of family and community models to challenge public policies to meet the needs of displaced workers. Home economists must take a leading role in influencing public legislation and programs. Home economists are also qualified to educate job displaced workers on policies and programs. Five professional types of home economists are identified and their potential role in job displacement issues are also outlined.
