Research and Analysis Division

This Division reports to the Federal Bureau of Employment Security
on the operations of the Department's Employment Service and Unem-
ployment Insurance programs. The Division obtains its information
from the operating records of the local offices and the various units in
the central office. This information is also used in preparing reports
for officials of the agency and the Annual Report to the Governor. As
part of a cooperative program to publish labor market data, the
Division also furnishes to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics monthly
estimates of employment, hours and earnings, and labor turnover in
Maryland and in the Baltimore Metropolitan Area. It compiles this
information from monthly reports made by a representative sample
of Maryland employers. In addition, the Division publishes bi-monthly
newsletters covering labor market conditions in Maryland and the
Baltimore Metropolitan Area, prepares reports on the labor market
upon request, and conducts statistical research studies on specialized
topics.

Appeals Division

This Division, under the supervision of a director responsible to the
Board of Appeals, conducts hearings on all appeals filed by claimants
or employers from the determinations of claims examiners in the
Department's local offices. Claimants may appeal from determinations

allowing benefits, as the case may be. An Appeals Referee hears all
such appeals. Any aggrieved party may further appeal to the Board
of Appeals. Final appellate recourse is to the Courts of Maryland.
