Abstract:
Because of the overrepresentation of Jewish wage-earners in the professional, managerial, and technical occupational groups, the American Jewish community has been particularly vulnerable to the current recession. The demand from Jewish clients seeking career changes and employment services from Jewish vocational service agencies has doubled since late 1990. These agencies must strengthen their services to accommodate a new influx of clients who are sophisticated but nonetheless bewildered by the changes in the economy.
