Abstract: The major purpose of this study was to assess the (l) personal appearance, (2) personal and social characteristics, and (3) work habits of the mentally retarded employee by means of a mailed opinionnaire completed by the employers of forty-seven of the fifty-five students available in the Murdoch Center District in North Carolina during the years of I966 and 1967 with respect to whether they were dismissed or not dismissed. A second purpose was to compare the characteristics of the non-dismissed employees with respect to six subgroups: (l) sex, (2) I.Q., (3) C.A., (4) amount of home economics studied, (5) type of job, and (6) time on the job. A third purpose was to use the findings in recommending specific learning experiences for the home economics program at Murdoch Center. The seven dismissed employees were compared with the forty non-dismissed employees on personal appearance, personal and social characteristics, and work habits. The non-dismissed employees received a greater percentage of yes answers by their employers on personal appearance, personal and social characteristics, and work habits.
