Search Tips
- Keyword Search – Use the keyword search field to type your own search terms.
- Resource Type – Use the resource type dropdown to find the type of resource that you want (e.g. article, video, report, file, link, study, etc.).
- Resource Topic – Use the resource topic dropdown to find major themes of the resource that you want (e.g. Women Veterans, Homelessness, Wages). You can select multiple topics from the dropdown.
- Resource Tags – Use the resource tag dropdown to search the resource for keyword or term associated with the resource.
- If you are searching using an acronym, try a second search with the acronym spelled out. For example, if you are searching for resources related to the Davis-Bacon Act, try searching "Davis-Bacon Act" as well as "DBA".
- 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.

The impact study estimated the impacts Reentry Project (RP) program participation had on employment, earnings, and criminal justice system involvement. It did so by comparing the outcomes of RP program participants to a comparison group of people with prior criminal justice involvement who received light-touch employment services from the Wagner-Peyser program.

Multiple agencies and programs within DOL may have a need to identify different categories of organizations they work with. For example, they may seek to identify employment service providers, benefits providers, local unions, or even specific types of employers. Such identification can support data collection, outreach, compliance, and enforcement activities. However, characteristics of organizations relevant to the activity are not always available in datasets, making it difficult to identify the organizations needed for contact.
This brief provides recommendations for implementing administrative data collection practices that support the research needs of federal departments and agencies. The brief describes the process and feasibility of using administrative data to conduct an implementation study of the National Construction Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) Pilot (NCSP).
This report defines and describes strategies for funders to reach underserved and marginalized communities, as well as incorporate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) principles in international grantmaking. The report provides emerging practices that increase the incorporation of underserved and marginalized communities throughout the grantmaking process, including the preaward and application stages, project design and implementation, and monitoring and evaluation.
This brief presents findings from the exploratory study to examine the feasibility of implementing a Unemployment Insurance (UI) program in Guam. It identifies factors relevant to UI program implementation in Guam and describes five potential UI program design options, specifying how the factors would work for Guam depending on program design option.
This report synthesizes findings from recent evaluations of employment-focused reentry programs to inform the Partners for Reentry Opportunities in Workforce Development (PROWD) Grants Evaluation. Building on a prior literature review of employment-focused reentry programs (Lacoe & Betesh, 2019), the PROWD Grants Evaluation synthesized recent evidence from rigorous research (randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental designs) published between 2018 and 2023 that examined impacts on recidivism, employment, and earnings.
Technical appendix to Exploring Unemployment Insurance (UI) Program Options for Guam: Options Brief. The appendix describes the exploratory study in depth, identifying the research questions, methodology, and limitations as well presents the data analyzed that support the information provided in the brief it supplements.
This spotlight brief describes outreach and engagement strategies that UI Navigators reported using in Maine, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to share information about the UI program and UI Navigation services with underrepresented groups and to address several barriers to UI program access. This brief is part of a study funded by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Chief Evaluation Office, that explores the implementation of Unemployment Insurance (UI) Navigator Grants, which seven states received in 2022.
This spotlight brief describes technology barriers to accessing the unemployment insurance (UI) program that Navigator staff in New Mexico and Pennsylvania reported some claimants and potential claimants face, especially those who were older (ages 55+), had low incomes, or lived in a rural area. The brief then describes how UI Navigators in both states helped to remove those barriers by providing in-person assistance, technology equipment, and internet access so individuals with technology barriers can access the UI program. This brief is part of a study funded by the U.S.
