Synthesis Report: Reemployment Synthesis
Topic Area: Reemployment
Findings:
The majority of reemployment interventions reduced weeks of benefit receipt and amount of benefits paid.
The reemployment interventions had varying degrees of effectiveness.
The Reemployment and Eligibility Assistance (REA) program boosted short-and long-term employment and earnings.
Job search assistance (JSA) services had favorable impacts on all outcomes examined, but employment and earnings impacts varied over time.
Reemployment bonuses appear to work in the short term, but their long-term effects are not known.
Lighter-touch interventions, such as profiling and changing employer contact requirements,yield more limited benefits.
Synthesis Report: Research Synthesis: Opportunities for Youth
Topic Area: Opportunities for Youth
Findings:
Successful programs often involved a substantial time commitment from participating youth.
Many successful programs involved a job placement component or job search assistance.
Positive impacts tended to be realized in the short term and fade over time.
More information is needed on the replicability of some programs.
Synthesis Report: Disability Employment Policy Research Synthesis
Topic Area: Disability Employment Policy
Findings:
Many disability employment interventions improved participant employment and earnings outcomes but few improved education and training, health, or public benefits receipt outcomes.
Transition programs and support services interventions improved the widest variety of outcome categories.
VR interventions improved employment and earnings outcomes but the effectiveness differed by disability type and the types of services received.
Supported employment interventions improved employment and earnings outcomes but the evidence base is small.
The two high-rated studies on benefits offsets showed no significant impact on earnings outcomes and an unfavorable impact on public benefits receipt outcomes.
The only high-rated study of a mental and behavioral health supports intervention showed promise.
Studies assessing the PROMISE intervention across multiple time points reported changes in outcomes.
Studies assessing the same intervention across multiple sites reported differing results.
Synthesis Report: Evidence on the Effects of OSHA Activities
Topic Area: OSHA Enforcement
Findings:
According to the research, there is some evidence that OSHA inspections reduce injury rates, on average.
Some recent research has strong current relevance and provides valuable descriptive information, but low causal evidence on the impact of inspections.
There is little information on the characteristics of OSHA inspections and other OSHA activities.
Topic Area: Opportunities for Youth
Findings:
Research provides strong evidence that NGYCP improves the educational outcomes of at-risk youth.
There is also strong evidence that NGYCP improves the labor market outcomes of at-risk youth.
A cost-benefit analysis found NGYCP produced large positive benefits.
NGYCP is a multi-component intervention, with little evidence on the effectiveness of specific components.
