abstract: 'Job skills training is a cost-effective strategy for improving
|
|
|
|
employment among individuals who have low income and employment
|
|
|
|
barriers, but few U.S. government-sponsored employment program
|
|
|
|
participants have received such training. To better understand long-term
|
|
|
|
gains from job skills training, this study compared employment and
|
|
|
|
earnings trajectories between program participants who received job
|
|
|
|
skills training and those who received basic services only. Using data
|
|
|
|
from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, we estimated
|
|
|
|
33-year employment and earnings trajectories among U.S. baby-boomer
|
|
|
|
cohorts while accounting for baseline group heterogeneity using inverse
|
|
|
|
propensity score weighting. We found increases in employment rates over
|
|
|
|
the life course, especially among Black women. Job skills training also
|
|
|
|
increased earnings by up to 69.6 \% compared to basic services only.
|
|
|
|
Despite the long-term gains in employment and earnings, job skills
|
|
|
|
training participation is not sufficient to address gender as well as
|
|
|
|
racial and ethnic gaps in full-time employment. Findings reinforce the
|
|
|
|
importance of incorporating job skills training as an essential service
|
|
|
|
element of government-sponsored employment programs to improve long-term
|
|
|
|
labor market outcomes among Americans with economic disadvantages.'
