---- Acknowledgments ----

The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Bureau of Economic Research. Disclaimer on potential conflicts of interest: Both authors have undertaken contract research sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor as well as serving on numerous technical advisory panels and providing comments on draft reports for various evaluations. In particular, in regard to evaluations considered in detail in this chapter, both authors were part of the NORC subcontract for the non-experimental component of the National JTPA Study, both authors reviewed drafts and provided technical advice on the recent TAA evaluation, and both are members of the technical advisory panel for the WIA experiment. It should, but does not, go without saying that the views expressed represent those of the authors alone.
