BLS DAILY REPORT, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1998

Persons with disabilities, especially those with severe disabilities,
are less likely to work and are more likely to live in poverty,
according to a pair of articles in the September issue of the Monthly
Labor Review.  The articles, scheduled to be published shortly, are
reprinted in the Daily Labor Report (pages A-9, E-1) and are "Labor
Market Activity, 1994" and "Demographic, Income, and Health Care
Characteristics, 1993."  The labor market article is by Thomas W. Hale
and Howard V. Hayghe, both economists in the Office of Employment and
Unemployment of BLS, and John M. McNell, statistician in the Bureau of
the Census.  The demographic article is by Douglas L. Kruse, associate
professor, School of Management and Labor Relations, Rutgers University.
....  

Funding for fiscal year 1999 for the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the
Census Bureau fell short of requested amounts, imperiling the agencies'
efforts to improve how the gross domestic product measures economic
growth, officials from both Department of Commerce agencies contend.
The agencies asked Congress to appropriate money for a full-scale
initiative to reduce the statistical discrepancies between GDP and Gross
Domestic Income.  Theoretically, these two measures should match in
growth rates.  But during the past four years, GDP and GDI have reached
different conclusions about how fast the economy is growing, with GDI
expanding about 0.5 percentage point faster than GDP each year. ...
(Daily Labor Report, page A-8).
