Project Dates
03/12/2010 -
Description
Using a quasi-experimental statistical matching technique, Upjohn Institute staff will estimate the net impacts and costs and benefits of thirteen workforce training programs in Washington state. Outcomes of interest will include employment, hours, wage rates, earnings, unemployment insurance benefits, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Food Stamp, and Medicaid benefits. Two cohorts of program participants will be examined—individuals who exited in the 2005-2006 program year and in the 2007-2008 program year.
