Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Wednesday, December 26, 2001 2:20 PM Work life expectancies 1. As you must be aware the DOL tables on "Worklife Estimates" as based on data from 1979-80. Since then female labor force participation has grown substantially. Studies using more recent data (and replicating the methods used by the BLS) give female worklife expectancies that are 10-16% higher than the outdated BLS study. See, for example, James Ciecka, Seth Epstein, and Jerry Goldman, "A Markov Process Model of Work-Life Expectancies Based on Labor Market Activity in 1997-98," Journal of Legal Economics, Volume 9, Number 3, Winter 1999-00, Table 8. 2. I am puzzled by the table showing losses for a single decedent without children. Who would qualify for this award? In those cases where there is a spouse and/or children it is clear that they would have shared the earnings of the deceased. For single decedents, who would have shared the after consumption offset earnings? Perhaps after adjustment for dededent's consumption there will be little remaining for distribution for this category of victim. My point here, essentially, is that in presenting explanation of the calculations of economic loss to the public some specific comments need to be made about this special category of victim.
