BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL

Report To The Honorable

Robert C. Byrd

United States Senate

OF THE UNITED STATES




Recruiting And Placing Puerto Rican

Workers With Growers During The

1978 Apple Harvest Were Unsuccessful


The Department of Labor used about
$275,000 of Comprehensive Employment and
Training Act funds to recruit and place Puerto
Rican workers with east coast apple growers.
However, the workers' contributions to the
harvest did not justify the expenditures. Of
the 992 workers recruited, only 97 were still
working after 15 consecutive calendar days.

This report explains the causes for this situ-
ation and details the problems encountered in
Virginia and West Virginia.

GAO makes recommendations to the Secre-
tary of Labor aimed at preventing a recur-
rence of the 1978 apple harvest problems.

Labor informed GAO it has initiated actions
which closely parallel the recommendations.
Labor also pointed out additional difficulties
and problems that complicated the effort and
show the need for actions consistent with
GAO's recommendations if this type of pro-
gram is to succeed.
