AcknowledgementsThis research project
would not have been possible without major financial support from the Ford,
Rockefeller, and Russell Sage Foundations, for which we are very grateful.
We also thank the Institute for Labor and Employment at the University of
California for additional funding to attain and process California's Unemployment
Insurance system wage record data.
In the course of undertaking this research, we received extraordinary
assistance and support from numerous staff and colleagues. Amy Dean was instrumental
in conceptualizing the project and seeing to its inception. Comment, insight,
and review from Eric Parker, Joel Rogers, Paul Osterman, Michael Reich,
and Susan Christopherson have been critical to our work in this area.
We received extremely valuable research assistance from Rachel Rosner
and Justin Scoggins of the Center for Justice, Tolerance, and Community
at the University of California-Santa Cruz; Matt Zeidenberg and Pablo
Mitnik at the Center for Wisconsin Strategy (COWS) at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison; and Louise Auerhahn and Sarah Muller at Working Partnerships
USA. Erin Hatton, COWS research assistant, was an integral member of the
Milwaukee team, doing field work and profiles of intermediaries and contributing
to the survey design. Allisa Jones at the Willamette University Public
Policy Research Center provided wonderful assistance with formatting final
reports and documents. We would like to thank Lina Guzman, Kelly Elver,
and other staff of the University of Wisconsin Survey Center for their
patience and perseverance in helping us complete a challenging survey
project. |
