Abstract

The Job Training Partnership Act Title II-A program is the main Federal effort to enhance the employability of economically . disadvantaged youths and adults. This report compares metro and nonmetro program performance durin program years .(PY) 1986 and (41 1987 (July 1986 through June 1988). During this period, better than average program performance an lower unit costs were more likely to be found in training programs in nonmetro or predominantly nonmetro areas than in metro or predominantly metro areas. Despite this relatively good performance, about a third of those who completed the nonmetro programs were still unemployed 13 weeks after completing training, and many who did find employment ended up in low-paying jobs.
