Abstract

A study of employment effects from prospective geothermal development in Imperial County is based on regression analysis of Census enumeration district data. The study reveals potential for reduction of broad age-structural unemployment through a more favorable age structure accompanying reduced fertility, increased labor force participation through greater income, and reduced unemployment through greater income and less poverty.
