The Los Angeles Jobs First GAIN Evaluation: Final Report on a Work First Program in a Major Urban Center

This MDRC report describes the results of the Los Angeles program’s notable transformation from an earlier one focused heavily on remedial education into one that stresses rapid job placement and indicates that the changes have largely paid off. The gains are among the largest ever found in studies of full-scale welfare-to-work programs in one of the nation’s biggest cities.
