Abstract

As more and more women attempt to enter the private labor market and, more particularly, find themselves without employment, information on how women fare in various governmental job programs becomes especially important. Our analysis of CETA programming in Milwaukee indicates that women, especially blacks, often experienced greater need but less placement activity on their behalf, and received lower quality employment than did their male counterparts. To the extent that eliminate the obstacles women encounter in participating in public jobs programs.
