Abstract	In 1983, Congress established the Veterans' Job Training Act (VJTA) Program to provide stable and permanent employment for Korean Conflict and Vietnam era veterans who have been unemployed for long periods of time. About 99 percent of VJTA participants are male, 81 percent are white, 90 percent are at least high school graduates, and over 80 percent served in the Vietnam era. The average age for participants was 40, and those veterans who have had higher rates of unemployment since separation from military service or who have had longer periods of civilian labor force experience appear less likely to participate in the program. About 66 percent of participants enter occupations in the machine trades, structural work occupations, or professional/technical/managerial positions. The average hourly wage received by participants during training is $6.32, with completers averaging about $6.60 during training. About 40 percent of nondisabled participants complete training. The average cost per participant in $3,000 ($5,000 per completer). About one year after having completed the program, veterans average an 11 percent increase in their employment rate and a $45 weekly gain in earnings (for a total of $280). About 50 percent of the completers were still employed 16 months after completing the program.
