Federal Job Training for the Poor May Be More Cost Effective in Rural Areas

Abstract

Despite traditional thinking, Federal job training programs may better serve the rural than the urban poor. Data from the Job Training Partnership Act's Title H-A program indicate that training outcomes, training costs, and per capita availability of funding all tend to be better in more rural areas. The analysis that follows, based on the demographic and performance information compiled by the U.S. Department of Labor, raises questions about a number of commonly held assumptions regarding the comparative effectiveness of metro/nonmetro employment and training programs.
