A Pooled Time-Series Analysis of the Job-Creation Impact of Public Service Employment Grants to Large Cities.

Adams, Charles F., Jr.; And Others

Journal of Human Resources, v18 n2 p283-94 Spr 1983

This study demonstrates that the Public Service Employment (PSE) program had a significant net job-creation impact in 1978 and 1979. The difference in the estimates for these two years and fiscal 1977 indicate a substantial effect from the changes in the program's design, including tighter eligibility criteria and requirement of a project approach to PSE.
