PB - National Bureau of Economic Research N1 - March 2018; Hardcopy version available to institutional subscribers N2 - This paper uses administrative tax data to examine the long-term effects of an experimental job-search assistance program operating in Nevada in 2009. The program required randomly-selected unemployed workers who had just started collecting unemployment insurance (UI) benefits to undergo an eligibility review and receive personalized job-counseling services. The program led to substantial short-term reductions in UI receipt, and to persistent, long-term increases in employment and earnings. The program also affected participants' family outcomes, including total income, tax filing, tax liability, and home ownership. These findings show that job-search assistance programs may produce substantial long-term effects for participants and their families UR - https://www.nber.org/papers/w24422 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.3386/w24422 ER -
