Can Subsidized Employment Programs Help Disadvantaged Job Seekers?

This report summarizes findings from random assignment studies of 13 subsidized employment programs funded under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Subsidized and Transitional Employment Demonstration (STED) and the U.S. Department of Labor Enhanced Transitional Jobs Demonstration (EJTD). The report presents the impacts on the employment and earnings for participants in each of the 13 programs and also examines nonemployment outcomes for participants such as reducing recidivism and increased child support payments.
