Michigan Placement Follow-Up Demonstration Project

摘要

In this study, the contractor demonstrated an improved method for determining the actual wage, duration and validity of Employment Service placements. A two-stage placement follow-up, consisting of a short-term follow-up four days after placement and a long-term follow-up 150 days after placement, was tested in the Grand Rapids area in cooperation with the Michigan Employment Security Commission. Sample response rates of 84 percent were obtained at an average cost of .56 person hours per placement. Average starting wages were slightly higher than those listed on job orders.
