To address these issues, a number of initiatives have aimed to help low-wage workers stay employed and move up in the labour market. Several such programs, trying different strategies, were studied as part of a multiyear, multisite evaluation called the Employment Retention and Advancement (ERA) project. This book examines the ERA program which outlines a few strategies that succeeded in improving individuals' employment retention and earnings as well as strategies that did not. Key findings and lessons are detailed.Economic issues, problems and perspectives series.UnemployedUnited StatesPoorEmploymentUnited StatesWorking poorUnited StatesUnited StatesfastUnemployedPoorEmploymentWorking poor331.1'3Lipovsky KarinaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910151736903321Employment strategies for low-wage and hard-to-employ workers2879632UNINA
