Title V provides about 54.000 parttime Jobs nationwide for lowincome senior citizens. Sixtyfive percent of all participants are elderly women. and most participants have incomes below the poverty level. The administration is proposing that this program be merged into a special targetgroup employment effort in which senior citizens would vie for employment with migrant workers. displaced homemakers. and Indians for a total funding level of $274 million. Obviously. reductions of this magnitude would mean that someone will be unemployed. and in all probability that someone will be the elderly. There are about 690 senior citizens employed in community service Jobs at minimum wage in West Virginia. and I have heard from many of them.
