Employment: Type of Job |

|
Some evidence indicates that employment programs help youths secure
high-quality jobs-that is, jobs with higher pay and more fringe benefits.
Youths in school-based and residential programs secured better jobs than
youths who did not participate in an employment program. Job Corps
youths had jobs with higher pay and slightly more fringe benefits, such as
health insurance, paid sick and vacation leave, and retirement benefits,
although they were not employed in significantly different occupations
than youth in the control group (JC). Career Academy students were
more likely than a comparison group to say that their jobs gave them
opportunities to learn new things (CA3).
