Abstract	This monograph on Negro employment in the Memphis labor market is part of a federally sponsored project on Negro employment in the South which seeks to present the latest information on both the racial employment patterns and the factors responsible for perpetuating or for changing those patterns. As part of a doctoral dissertation, a comparison of 1966 and 1969 employment patterns of Negroes and whites used regression analysis to explain Negro industrial penetration rates (their share of employment) and occupational distribution, by race. Also, unstructured field interviews examined various aspects of the Memphis labor market, such as manpower programs and Negro employment problems. Twenty-five representatives of the black community, 60 employers, and officials from 16 private and public agencies were interviewed to provide insight into socioeconomic factors in minority employment patterns. Housing, employment, education, and poverty problems united the black community in a strike in 1968 which led to expanded programs to improve socioeconomic conditions. Thirty tables present the data, which precede general and specific recommendations for federal, state, and local government action in developing appropriate manpower programs. This document is related to a previously processed report on the Houston labor market available as ED 048 486. (AG)
