The eleventh report of the Orange County Annual Survey, UCI focuses on the timely issue of "Jobs and the Economy," as well as examining the topics we have been monitoring in previous years. The 1992 survey was conducted from August 26 to September 2 and included 1,012 adult residents. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percent. Purpose
Acknowledgements The 1992 Orange County Annual Survey is the eleventh report in the series. This year, the survey focuses on the timely issue of "Jobs and the Economy." We continue our analysis of trends involving the county's most important problems, general perceptions of the county, and the issues of transportation, air quality, the environment, housing costs and charitable behavior. We also ask questions about the 1992 election and the county's political climate. Many people were involved in this on-going project. Cheryl Katz co-authored the final report and was centrally involved with me in the research design, statistical analysis and writing. Graduate students conducted focus groups on survey topics in the spring. Undergraduates assisted with the data analysis this fall. The survey data were collected through telephone interviews by Interviewing Services of America of Van Nuys, CA. The Steering Committee ranked the topics for study this year through a mail survey in the spring. Members of the Advisory Committee met with me during the year to offer suggestions for survey questions. The names and affiliations of committee members are listed in the appendices. This survey is funded by contributions from local corporations, public agencies and private foundations. This year, there were 32 subscribers and sponsors. I thank the sponsors and subscribers listed on the following page, whose support made this study possible.
