               February 19, 1993

               The Honorable Ralph M. Hall

               The enclosed materials were prepared at your request to provide
               information on the costs, outcomes, and administrative structure of the
               Job Corps program. In particular, you asked us to update information
               contained in an earlier report on Job Corps costs and outcomes in 1984
               (Job Corps: Its Costs, Employment Outcomes, and Service to the
               Public, GAO/HRD-86-112BR, July 30, 1986). The materials presented
               are based on information obtained from the Department of Labor's Office
               of Job Corps and discussions with Labor officials relating to:

               -- the structure of the Job Corps program,

               -- cost differences between centers run by contractors and Civilian
                  Conservation Centers,

               -- outcomes for students trained by national sole-source contractors,
                  and

               -- sole-source contractors' hiring of students.

               The Job Corps administrative structure has not changed substantially
               since our 1986 report. At present, 108 centers operate in 43 states, the
               District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The centers generally provide
               basic education, vocational training and other services, such as health
               care, social skills training, and placement services, to economically
               disadvantaged youth in a residential setting, although two centers are
               nonresidential. The average stay is about 7.6 months.
