Liebhafsky Plans
Research On Labor
Required In South
Dr. E. E. Liebhafsky, professor
of economics at A&M, has accepted
a two-year appointment as visiting
professor at North Carolina State
College, beginning June 6.
He will participate in a study
on “Economic Development and
Manpower Requirements of the
South,” sponsored by the Twentieth
Century Fund.
Liebhafsky will be responsible
for projecting the labor force and
manpower requirements in the 13
southern states to 1975.
The Twentieth Century Fund
project, under the direction of
James G. Maddox, associate direc
tor of the Agricultural Policy In
stitute at North Carolina State
College, will focus attention on
questions of economic development
and utilization of manpower in the
south because that region is still
substantially below national levels
in average income and output.
Aim of the study will be to evalu
ate basic changes taking place in
the regional economy of the South
and to estimate the extent to which
future economic development will
depend upon full utilization of all
manpower, with particular refer
ence to the Negro population of the
South.
Liebhafsky has been on the A&M
faculty since 1956. He has also
served on the faculties of Penn
sylvania State University and
Western Reserve University. He
served on the staff of the Region
X Wage Stabilization Board during
the Korean emergency. In the sum
mer of 1961, Liebhafsky served
with the Bureau of Employment
Security, U. S. Department of La
bor, in Washington, D. C.
Liebhafsky received his doctorate
from the University of Illinois in
1950. His field of specialization is
labor economics. He is a member
of Phi Kappa Phi, Pi Gamma Mu
and Omicron Delta Gamma.
