Employment Research in Brief: An Annotated Bibliography of ETA-Sponsored Studies

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Employment and Training Administration (ETA) sponsors numerous research studies, evaluations, and pilots and demonstrations on a broad range of topics relevant to the agency’s mission. This annotated bibliography provides a summary of research publications ETA has released since 1995, as selected by researchers from Mathematica with guidance from ETA staff. The summarized publications include research, evaluation, and demonstration reports, as well as other papers and sets of policy recommendations. Each summary presents key points from its associated publication, including keywords, research objectives, type of research, study sites (when applicable), data sources, analytical methods, and findings. These publications were not reviewed for quality or strength of design, and their inclusion in this bibliography does not imply any endorsement of their design, methods, or content by ETA or Mathematica.
