1845.2	Assessment
Research Question (Clear, unambiguous)	Does "racial resentment" rise with unemployment?  Question is okay on the surface, but racial resentment is a somewhat elusive idea, unemployment is more complex than it sounds, and the question confuses composition with cause.
Relevant Literature	References are relevant, but direction of literature ignored.
Causal Interpretations (clear, all parts defined, mechanisms, controls, plausible)	The stated relationships between educational level, unemployment, and racial resentment are rather vague.  "Racial resentment," an attitude, is likely to have many contributory causes, a good number related to the causes considered here, requiring extended consideration of controls, here ignored.
Data (variables, sample, comparison)	The American Nat'l Election Study might work for this, but not obvious that the auxiliary variables and timing of the studies are good for it.  Probably need employment history, local race composition, occupational race composition, and other such information.
Research Value	The assumptions that "racial resentment" is valid and consequential seem a bit shaky.
Overall	This seems a plausible idea for a workable project.  It appears that it will take some work to develop, and it is not entirely obvious it is worth the effort.
