Study of Unemployment Insurance Exhaustees - (October 2001) (Left Out of the Boom Economy: UI Recipients in the Late 1990s) Purpose - This study examines the characteristics, labor market experiences, UI program experiences, and reemployment service receipt of UI recipients who began collecting UI benefits in 1998. One objective is to gauge the extent to which recent changes in the U.S. labor market may have affected the composition of UI recipients who exhaust benefits and to examine their postexhaustion labor market behavior. Another objective is to examine recipients’ experiences with the delivery of reemployment services and determine whether changes in the workforce development system have affected these experiences.
