What goes around comes around. With the prospects for public service employment growing during the second Clinton admininstration, it is timely to take a look back at a decade when PSE played a major role in the nation's employment and training policy.

From 1971 to 1982, the federal government attempted to reduce unemployment by subsidizing positions in state and local governments. These efforts were geared toward helping the unemployed gain human capital that could lead to unsubsidized work, while helping governments provide needed services for their citizens.

A variety of approaches were tried in practically every area of program design. The authors reveal what worked.
