Abstract	This monograph presents results from a study of the Texas Worker Adjustment Demonstration, a 2,192-person randomized experimental evaluation of reemployment programs for displaced workers conducted at three Texas sites during 1984-85. It describes in detail: (1) the background, design, conduct, and content of the programs at each demonstration site; (2) the evaluation design, implementation process, data collection effort, and analysis; (3) factors that influenced participation in the program, with special emphasis on characteristics of the program intake process, participants' backgrounds, and available program services; (4) program impacts for men and for women, as well as other key subgroups, in terms of their future earnings, employment, and unemployment insurance benefits; and (5) program costs. The following key findings are reported: (1) a relatively inexpensive mix of job-search assistance and limited occupational skills training can be a cost-effective means of assisting some displaced workers; (2) program impacts for displaced female workers were substantial and sustained throughout the 1-year follow-up period, although they diminished continually over time; (3) impacts for men were appreciable, but much smaller and shorter lived than those for women; and (4) measured earnings impacts for women exceeded their program costs. Forty-six references and an index are appended. (YLB)
