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.
- Countries – Filter by specific countries outside of the U.S.

Portfolio Study Deliverable
The report synthesizes findings from third-party evaluator (TPE)-conducted implementation evaluations and subsequent interim reports, supplemented by submitted quarterly narrative reports (QNRs) from March 2023. The synthesis aims to provide an overarching description of the first round of SCC (SCC1) grantees’ progress in implementing their workforce development and career pathways programming and highlight promising practices, implementation barriers, and lessons learned across the grantees.
Secondary data analysis
The report provides a snapshot of how Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) grantees adapted or expanded strategies to serve older workers in response to challenges faced during the pandemic. Strategies include (1) adopting new recruitment outreach, intake, and engagement activities; (2) promoting digital access and technology loaner programs; (3) providing training remotely; (4) adopting new host agency and employer strategies; and (5) implementing staffing strategies to support SCSEP participants’ needs.
Implementation Evaluation
Employment and Training
Adult workers, Dislocated Workers, Older Workers, Temporary Workers, Underemployed Workers, Unemployed, Veterans, Women, Workers with Disabilities
The purpose of the Older Workers Implementation and Descriptive Study is to build evidence about the implementation of the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) and other U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) workforce programs serving older workers to inform the continuous improvement of SCSEP. To inform evaluation activities, the report reviews the literature and identifies the state of the evidence on workforce programs, including those that serve older workers and populations with similar employment barriers.

In 2022, the Chief Evaluation Office (CEO) partnered with the Wage and Hour Division to fund contractor Westat to conduct the National Worker Survey project. This survey is intended to gather data to understand the prevalence and nature of violations of workers’ rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), with a focus on wages, pay, and hours worked, as well as other topics.
Survey
Adult workers, Children and Youth, Contracted Workers, Dislocated Workers, Farmworkers, Federal Contractors, Federal Employees, Healthcare Workers, Incarcerated or Formerly Incarcerated, Migrant and Seasonal Workers, Older Workers, Temporary Workers, Veterans, Women, Workers in Contingent and Alternative Arrangements, Workers with Disabilities
In 2021, the Chief Evaluation Office (CEO) partnered with the Employment Training Administration (ETA) and funded the Urban Institute and its partner Capital Research Corporation to conduct the Older Workers Study.

In 2020, the Chief Evaluation Office (CEO) partnered with the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) and funded contractor Mathematica Policy Research to conduct the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Research Portfolio Project.
The Enhanced Transitional Jobs Demonstration (ETJD), funded by the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), tested seven transitional jobs programs that targeted people recently released from prison or low-income parents who had fallen behind in child support payments. The ETJD programs were “enhanced” in various ways relative to programs studied in the past. MDRC, a nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization, led the project along with two partners: Abt Associates and MEF Associates.
Employment and Training
Temporary Workers, Adult workers, Incarcerated or Formerly Incarcerated, Caregivers and Parents
Worker moral hazard has been shown in some empirical studies to influence workers’ compensation insurance claims patterns. According to moral hazard theory, temporary help services workers would be expected to file a greater number of spurious claims than traditional, directly-hired employees as a result of greater safety information asymmetry between staffing agencies and the temporary help services workers they place in third party workplaces than between employers and their directly-hired employees.
The minimum wage is one of the most researched areas in labor economics with a vast body of literature that dates back nearly seventy years (Brown 1999). Research proliferated as variation in state minimum wage policies gained steam over the last several decades. However, research, debate and policy has largely ignored the lesser known subminimum wage received by tipped workers (also referred to as the tipped or cash wage). That there are two federal wage floors is unknown to many and the existence of the federal subminimum wage—at $2.13 since 1991—often comes as a bit of a surprise.
