Key Findings:

• Intensive services increased quarterly earnings by about $600, an increase of 17 percent, in the fifth quarter after job seekers were enrolled in the study. Intensive services also led to job seekers obtaining jobs with more fringe benefits such as health insurance and retirement benefits.
• As expected, training reduced employment and earnings in the first few quarters after study enrollment as job seekers who were enrolled in training were less likely to have time for employment. By the fifth quarter, 13 to 15 months after study enrollment, these job seekers had yet to see their training result in higher employment rates or earnings. About 15 percent of all job seekers in the study were still in training in the fifth quarter after study enrollment. Therefore it may be too early to see the benefits of training.
• Together, intensive services and training increased the likelihood of job seekers finding a job, but this did not translate into an increase in earnings within the 15 months after study enrollment.
