Search Tips

  • Keyword Search – Search for terms contained within the titles or descriptions of publications and data available on the CEO website.
  • Help text: Can’t find what you are looking for? Here are some quick tips:
    • For more specific results, use quotation marks around phrases.
    • For more general results, remove quotation marks to search for each word individually. For example, minimum wage will return all documents that have either the word minimum or the word wage in the description, while "minimum wage" will limit results to those containing that phrase. If you search using an acronym (e.g., WIOA), try a second search with the acronym spelled out (e.g., “Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.”)
  • Filters –Find publications and data by using filters to help narrow your results:
    • Publication Date – Filter content by using a date range for when it was published.
    • Topics – Filter content related to specific topics (e.g., Apprenticeships, Behavioral interventions, Community College, etc.)
    • DOL Partner Agency – Filter content produced by CEO in partnership with other DOL agencies (e.g., Employment and Training Administration, Office of Disability Employment Policy, etc.)
    • Research Methods – Filter content by specific research methods (e.g., survey, impact evaluation, cost analysis, etc.) used to produce it.
    • Study Population – Filter by specific populations (e.g., adult workers, unemployed individuals, veterans, etc.)
    • U.S. Regions – Filter by specific regions in the U.S.
    • U.S. States – Filter by specific states in the U.S.
