 Report To The Chairman, Subcommittee On

 Employment And Productivity

 Committee On Labor And Human Resources

 United States Senate



 Projects Funded In Fresno County, California,

 By The Emergency Jobs Appropriations

 Act Of 1983


 To meet economic problems facing the nation, the
 Congress enacted the Emergency Jobs Appropriations
 Act of 1983, which made over $9 billion available for
 fiscal year 1983 and beyond. Title I of the act made
 funds available to provide, among other things, es-
 sential and productive jobs. GAO analyzed available
 data on projects that were awarded these funds in six
 geographical areas throughout the United States. This
 report discusses Fresno County, California.

 GAO found that about $1.2 million, or about 21 percent
 of nearly $6 million awarded to projects identified in
 Fresno County, had been spent by March 31, 1984--
 about 1 year after passage of the act. Of an estimated
 279 people who were employed, at least 97 had been
 previously unemployed. In addition to short-term
 employment opportunities resulting from these funds,
 other benefits--such as recreation facility improvements,
 public building renovations, and humanitarian assis-
tance--had been andareexpected to be provided to the
county.
