Abstract:

The Triangle has one of the nation’s lowest unemployment rates, registering at about three-percent most months. However, this statistic does not capture the thousands of people who want a job but are discouraged by their personal constraints. Homeless and welfare recipients are also unaccounted for in unemployment statistics.

Abstract:

Balds are open, grassy mountaintops without trees, and are ideal sites for camping, hiking and hunting. When citizen of North Carolina Glen Tig discovered bulldozing in Stratton Bald, he went to Senator Jesse Helms for help. Further review found that Forest Service biologists incorrectly classified the bald, thereby allowing for bulldozing.
