N.C. views on work, welfare
Editor's note: This is the first in a
three-part series examining the results
of the 1990 Carolina Poll.
By DAVID ETCHISON
Staff Writer
North Carolinians still cling to a
strong work ethic but are divided about
how to deal with poor families and
government welfare, according to the
results of the 1990 Carolina Poll.
Questions dealing with poverty,
government programs and responsibi li
ties and beliefs about work were asked
during one section of the random tele
phone poll. Respondents were asked to
select their answers from one of five
choices: strongly agree, agree, disagree,
strongly disagree or don't know. The
poll has a margin of error of plus or
minus four percentage points.
The study began with questions about
work attitudes. According to the poll
results, 94 percent of those surveyed
said it was the duty of every able
bodied citizen to contribute to society
by working. In addition, 92 percent
said that every person in our society
had a right to interesting and meaning
ful work. However, the respondents
were evenly split when asked if people
should work at any job they can get,
even if it does not pay enough for them
to live on.
Concerning welfare, 83 percent
agreed that having the lowest-paying
job is better than being on welfare.
Fifty-nine percent agreed that govern
ment assistance to the poor takes away
poor people's motivation to work.
"There is a concern," said Richard
Cramer, associate professor of sociol
ogy. "Some (government programs)
have the potential at least to create a
dependency in people. But, most gov
ernment programs are not enough for
people to live that comfortably to give
up improv ing themselves. Most of these
programs don't reach most of the people

that are eligible for them."
Ninety-one percent of the respon
dents said people who are able to work
should have to work to receive money
from government assistance programs.
'That's the idea of welfare," Cramer
said. "The problem with that is that
there aren't enough jobs for the people
who need them. Whose responsibility
is it to provide the jobs?"
In addition to these questions, the
participants in the poll were read a list
of programs designed to aid low-income
people. For each one, they were
asked who they thought should pay for
the program: the government, private
businesses and charities, a combina
tion of the two or no one.
The programs mentioned were hous
ing for low-income people; child care
for working mothers in poor families;
helping low-income people learn jobs
skills and get a job; and providing health
care, including adequate food, for low
income people.
On questions concerning low-income
housing, 50 percent thought the gov
ernment was responsible, while 42
percent suggested low-income housing
should be the responsibility of the
government and the private sector. Even
more respondents supported govern
ment health-care provisions for the poor,
with 58 percent in favor. Thirty-two
percent favored government and pri
vate sector joint action.
Forty-two percent thought child care
should be paid for by a combination of
government and business. Twenty-nine
percent said the government should
pay, and 20 percent thought it should be
the responsibility of private business.
Forty-five percent also favored a com

bination to pay for job education; 38
percent said only the government should
be responsible; and 14 percent said
private business alone should pick up
the tab.
Seventy-four percent of those asked
said they would be very willing or
somewhat willing to pay an extra $ 1 00
in taxes each year if they knew the
money would be used to help low
income people.
The poll is conducted by the UNC
School of Journalism and the Institute
for Research in Social Science (IRSS).
The poll was created in 1975 by Bob
Stevenson, professor of journalism.
"Originally, it (the Carolina poll)
was a class exercise, and because we
(the School of Journalism) were teach
ing social science research methods to
our students, we wanted to give them
practical experience in doing it," said
Jane Brown, professor of journalism.
"It was to provide experience to a couple
of classes in journalism in how to do
public opinion polling."
Beverly Wiggins, associate director
for research development at the IRSS,
said, "The poll is used for two pur
poses. One is to train students in jour
nalism. They teach both graduate and
undergraduate courses with the poll."
The poll consists of 72 questions.
One-third of them are supplied by the
IRSS, one-third by the school of jour
nalism and one-third are basic demo
graphic questions.
The school of journalism focuses on
a different topic each year. This year
their focus was on poverty. The IRSS
takes a different approach.
"IRSS is interested in developing
social interest indicators," Wiggins said.
"We'll repeat questions over time."
This year the poll was conducted
from February 25 through March 1 . A
random sample of 595 adult North
Carolinians was interviewed over the
telephone by journalism students.

T's Q.99 or for
revealed!
Random-digit dialing was used fbl
determine which households wou!
receive a call. Telephone numbers were;?
bought from a company in Connecticut
called Survey Sampling, which prp'
vided all the possible telephone nurri-
bers from the 30-plus independent
companies operating in North Caro
lina. !
Out of all the phone numbers, a'
random sample of 800 was drawn. From -this
number, responses were received
from a few more than 595 households.
A few respondents had to be rejected
because they actually lived over the
N.C. border. r '-
Each number had to go through a
screening process. First of all, the
number had to belong to a residence.'
Secondly, each person in the house was
given an equal chance of being inter
viewed, not just the person who art'
swered the phone. This was accom-'
plished by asking for the person with'
the next birthday.
If that person was unavailable, four
more calls were made to that household'
in attempt to reach the desired person.
If he or she was unreachable, a time to
call was set up for the next day, or the
call was considered a refusal and dis
counted. The results were weighted by house
hold. The mean number of adults in
each household was computed and the
number of people in each household
were divided by this number to deter
mine the household weight. ' '-
This was done to subtract weight
from the people who lived alone and
add to large households. It also coK
rected for the disparity between men
and women. In North Carolina, more
women than men answer the telephone.
Some reasons for this are that more
women than men live alone, men are
more likely to refuse to talk or more
men are at work during the time the poll
was taken.
