Optimizing JOBS: Evaluation versus Administration.

Mead, Lawrence M.

Public Administration Review, v57 n2 p113-23 Mar-Apr 1997

The Job Opportunities and Basic Skills program (JOBS) is an ambitious federal effort at welfare reform but the federal government has given local operators little direction on how to run it. JOBS can be improved using existing evaluations and analyses of administrative data. Reform depends mostly on capable local administration. (JOW)
