The Employment Strategies for Low-Income Adults Evidence Review (ESER) is a systematic review of research on employment and training programs for low-income individuals. The goal of the review is to identify programs and services that help low-income adults get and keep jobs and, ultimately, become self-sufficient. The review provides a transparent, systematic assessment of the quality of research evidence supporting approaches to improve employment-related outcomes. Results can be used by practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and the public. The review is conducted by Mathematica Policy Research for the Administration for Children and Families, Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
