Abstract

Public policy analysis has become a major area of interest to political scientists. The government's attempt to create jobs has become an important activity. The purpose of this study is to examine two public service employment programs, the Work Incentive Program (WIN) and the Comprehensive Employment Training Act Program (CETA), as they are administered on the local level. The CETA program was designed to provide training, employment, and other services leading to unsubsidized employment for economically and educationally disadvantaged persons. The WIN program was established with the objective of training employable recipients of AFDC for jobs.
