Next Steps
The CEO evaluation is still at an early stage. The study will eventually follow the sample for three years, will analyze results for other subgroups, and will incorporate a number of additional data sources, including:
-
Survey. A survey is being administered to more than 500 sample members in the program and control groups, approximately 15-18 months after random assignment. The survey will provide data on services that sample members received from organizations other than CEO, on job characteristics and jobs not covered by unemployment insurance, on contact between sample members and their children, and on other issues.
-
Individual-level UI earnings data. Data from the New Hires Database will have several advantages over the UI data used in this report: (1) the New Hires data will include employment outside New York State and in some positions not covered by the state UI program (for example, federal government jobs); (2) they will allow the analysis to distinguish CEO from non-CEO jobs; and (3) they will include individual-level earnings data for all sample members.
-
Child support payment data. The New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, which runs the state Child Support Enforcement program, will provide data on child support payments made by sample members who are noncustodial parents.
-
New York City jail data. The New York City Department of Correction has provided data on incarceration in city jails, including the Rikers Island complex. These data will offer a more complete picture of incarceration patterns.
-
Cost data. The research team is collecting data on the cost of CEO’s program and other services sample members receive in order to estimate the net cost of the program.
A full-scale report on the evaluation results, including data from all of these sources, is planned for 2008.
