To date, GAO has issued two reports on JTPA. One pro- vides baseline data on how title IIA was implemented at the state and local levels. For the most part, it appeared that the imple- mentation of JTPA had proceeded smoothly and the act's provisions had been followed. The other report presents information about a May 1984 reduction-in-force and reorganization within the Depart- ment of Labor's Employment and Training Administration. The re- port also presents concerns of the job training community about Labor's ability to implement JTPA. GAO also has two studies of JTPA underway. The first compares participant characteristics to those under the Compre- hensive Employment and Training Act and analyzes the support assistance provided to participants. The second studies the implementation of the title III dislocated workers program. Information developed to date shows that (1) most service delivery areas were providing some type of support assistance (such as child care and transportation) to participants and doing so within the act's spending limits, (2) few delivery areas re- quested waivers to the act's limitations on support assistance, (3) JTPA serves a higher percentage of high school graduates and students and a lower percentage of dropouts and unemployed than did CETA, and (4) in 10 states visited thus far, 92 percent of their title III funds had been obligated.
