Chip D. Baumgardner, associate professor of business administration/management at Pennsylvania College of Technology, had a research paper accepted for publication in International Journal of Liberal Arts and Social Science.
His paper, titled “Juniata County: How the Labor Market of a Small, Rural Pennsylvania County Survived the Great Recession,” was published in the journal’s August 2014 edition (Volume 2, No. 6).
Baumgardner’s paper analyzes the effects of the recession of 2007-09 on employment rates in Juniata County, examining whether fragments of the economy were resistant to the downturn, and if so, whether there were legitimate reasons.
To find the answers, Baumgardner compared the labor market of Juniata County to that of both Pennsylvania and the U.S., scrutinizing the potential for a pocket of resistance during the recession and analyzing reasons for it. He used statistical analysis and information provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
