Do Sectoral Employment Programs Work? New Evidence from New York City's Sector‐Focused Career Centers
研究评估纽约市三个大型行业就业项目对弱势求职者就业和收入的影响，发现参与者就业率和收入提高，且接受行业特定培训者收入增长更大。
While sectoral employment is growing as an approach to providing job opportunities to disadvantaged jobseekers, there is little evidence on the effectiveness of these programs. This study estimates impacts on employment and earnings of three large sectoral employment programs in New York City using a quasi‐experimental design and administrative data on earnings. Participants realized increased employment levels and earnings gains. In addition, participants who received industry‐specific training had greater earnings gains than those who did not.
