Bassi, Laurie J.
Evaluation Review, v11 n4 p493-509 Aug 1987
The cost effectiveness of the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act was evaluated in terms of moving economically disadvantaged individuals toward financial independence. Data analysis indicated small savings in welfare payments for female recipients, but not males. Data deficiencies in the Continuous Longitudinal Manpower Survey were also revealed. (GDC)
