Joan Mahagan & Wayne Sylvia. In 1998, Congress passed the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), seeking to create a system connecting employ., educ., & train. serv. to better match job seekers to labor market needs.

To determine how states & local areas are assisting dislocated workers (DW) under WIA, this report determines: how WIA has affected the serv. provided to DW at the local level; how funds set aside for rapid response & other statewide activities are used to assist DW under WIA; & whether the DW funding formula dist. funds to state in relation to their DW population. Charts & tables.
