Occupational and Educational Patterns for New Hampshire's Franco-Americans
A 1970s report seeking "to define the status of Franco-Americans in New Hampshire, and their relationships to the majority culture." With data from the US census and a variety of business and education studies (published and not), Doane seeks to get beneath the reality of the under-representation of Franco Americans on many levels of New Hampshire labor and academics. She writes: "...the Franco-American Research Project was established in April 1978 by the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union for the purpose of gathering additional information relating to the occupational and educational status of New Hampshire's Franco-American community. This report presents the findings of the project during its year of operation (1979)."Tags Allenstown NH, Bedford NH, Berlin NH, Claremont NH, Clarksville NH, Colebrook NH, Concord NH, Demography, Derry NH, Dover NH, Dummer NH, Education, Franklin NH, Goffstown NH, Gorham NH, Greenville NH, Hooksett NH, Hudson NH, Jaffrey NH, Keene NH, Labor History, Laconia NH, Language and Linguistics, Lincoln NH, Litchfield NH, Manchester NH, Mills and Mill Work, Nashua NH, New England, New Hampshire, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- Demography, Northumberland NH, Pembroke NH, Portsmouth NH, Rochester NH, Rollinsford NH, Salem NH, Somersworth NH, Stewartstown NH -
