Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Job Corps Should Strengthen

Eligibility Requirements And

Fully Disclose Performance


The Department of Labor's Job Corps pro-
gram has serious problems, including the fol-
lowing:
    --Little assurance exists that Job Corps is
    serving only youths who need to be re-
    moved from their environment as the
    Congress intended.
    --Inadequate criteria for determining a
    placement rate and questionable place-
    ment data allow Job Corps to depict
    the program in a very favorable light,
    but the rate does not provide adequate
    information to properly assess effec-
    tiveness.
    --Based on initial steps taken to deter-
    mine Job Corps' long-term impact on
    earnings, graduates--while earning more
    than nongraduates--do not earn enough
    to break the poverty cycle.
This report includes recommendations to the
Secretary of Labor designed to improve the
program. Labor agreed to adopt or further
consider many of GAO's recommendations
and disagreed with others. Labor took issue
with some of the facts presented; however,
GAO believes they are accurate.
The report's major findings are summarized in
chapter 1.
