Abstract
The study of task identification in clothing; apparel; and textile services presents statistical correlations of task frequencies obtained by questionnaire in six task clusters for the occupations of fabric specialist; tailor; alternation specialist; dry cleaner; launderer; and clothing apparel and textile service occupations. One-way matrices present; for each occupation; task clusters and tasks within each cluster arranged vertically in descending order of overall mean frequency of performance. A two-way matrix correlates task information for all six occupations; with occupations arranged horizontally and task clusters and individual tasks within each cluster arranged vertically in descending order of commonality of performance as indicated by overall mean frequency scores. A four-page bibliography is included together with eight appendixes which provide letters of transmittal; the task checklist questionnaire for each occupation; tables on schooling and training levels for each occupation and on the rank; mean range; standard deviation; and variance for each cluster in each occupation; descriptors used in an ERIC search; job opportunities in clothing apparel and textile services; an Iowa congressional map; a list of resource people; and additional task lists.
