  10. Steadily increasing data support the idea that the U.S. economy operates in a dualistic fashion, especially perhaps with regard to labor. That is, there is a secondary labor market characterized by very different structure and opportunities, which limit the kinds of work available, its continuity, and its rates of pay. Particularly in such depressed, areas as those in which the CDCs operate, this secondary labor market is the one which most clearly accounts for the inability of local workers to find decent employment. See, for example, Michael J. Piore, “The Dual Labor Market: Theory and Implications”, in David Gordon, ed.,Problems in Political Economy: An Urban Perspective, (Lexington, Mass., D.C. Heath, 1971).
