Introduction
Partnerships to Improve Employment and Self-Sufficiency Outcomes
In FY 1996, ORR undertook a joint effort with States to improve State performance in refugee employment and self-sufficiency outcomes. States and California counties have been required since FY 1996 to establish annual outcome goals aimed at continuous improvement of performance along the following six outcome measures:
- Entered Employment , defined as the entry of a refugee into unsubsidized employment, either full-time or part-time.
- Terminations Due to Earnings , defined as the termination of a cash assistance case (RCA, TANF, and general assistance) due to earned income. For FY 2005, calculation of the cash assistance termination rate was refined. Previously computed as the number of terminations divided by the total number of individuals entering employments, the new calculation correctly uses the total number of individuals receiving cash assistance who entered employment as the denominator.
- Reductions Due to Earnings , defined as a reduction in the amount of cash assistance that a case receives as a result of earned income. As with the cash assistance termination rate noted above, the cash assistance reduction rate is now computed using as the denominator the total number of individuals receiving cash assistance who entered employment.
- Average Wage at Placement , calculated as the sum of the hourly wages for the full-time placements divided by, the total number of individuals placed in employment. For FY 2005, the methodology for calculating the aggregate average wage for the nation and
California counties was improved. The new methodology replaces the previous calculation of taking the mean of the average wages with a weighted average that accounts for differences in total numbers of full-time entered employments between States and California counties.
- Job Retentions , defined as the number of persons working for wages (in any unsubsidized job) on the 90 th day after placement. This is a measure of continued participation in the labor market, not retention of a specific job.
- Entered Employment with Health Benefits , defined as a job placement with health benefits offered within six months of employment, regardless of whether the refugee actually accepts the coverage offered.
- ORR tracked State and county performance throughout the year, with FY 2005 performance reported as follows:
- Entered Employment totaled 35,776, or 53% of the total caseload, representing a 3% increase over FY 2004 (37,462 or 50%).
- Terminations due to Earnings totaled 10,517, or 56% of those entering employment who had received cash assistance. This is a 4% decrease from FY 2004 (10,167 or 60%).
- Reductions due to Earnings totaled 2,178, or 12% of those entering employment who had received cash assistance. This is a 3% decrease from FY 2004 (2,460 or 15%).
- Average Wage at Placement for those entering full-time employment was $8.04, a $0.07 increase from the average of $7.97 in FY 2004.
- Employment Retention totaled 28,183 for a retention rate of 74%, a 0.29% increase from FY 2004 (27,773 or 74%).
- Entered Employment with Health Benefits reached 18,892, with 64% of those entering full-time employment having health benefits available through their employer, a 8% increase from FY 2004 (18,104 or 56%).
In FY 2005, the caseload decreased by three percent over FY 2004. A caseload is defined as the unduplicated number of active employable adults enrolled in employment services. The rate of job placements remained the same; however, 79 percent of refugees who found employment retained their employment for 90 days, a five percent increase from FY 2004. Sixty-five percent of full-time job placements offered health insurance, compared to 56 percent the year before.
- Twenty-two States and five California counties exceeded their entered employments from FY 2004. Also, 26 States and four California counties increased the number of cash assistance terminations over the previous year.
Twenty-one States and nine California counties improved their job retention rate over the previous year. Alabama, Arkansas, and Mississippi all reported a retention rate of 100 percent. Retention rates of over 90 percent were reported in the District of Columbia, Idaho, North Carolina, and North Dakota.
In FY 2005, thirty-two States and ten California counties reported higher wages at placement than in FY 2004. In FY 2005, 25 States and eight California counties reported higher wages than the average aggregate wage for all States ($8.29): Alaska ($10.54), Arkansas ($10.00), California ($8.80), Colorado ($8.42), Connecticut ($8.97), the District of Columbia ($8.49), Hawaii ($8.80), Illinois ($8.45), Iowa ($8.62), Massachusetts ($9.81), Minnesota ($9.00), Missouri ($8.53), Montana ($8.50), Nebraska ($9.00), Nevada ($8.76), New Jersey ($10.27), New York ($8.52), Pennsylvania ($9.36), Rhode Island ($8.78), South Dakota ($9.52), Tennessee ($8.30), Vermont ($9.21), Virginia ($8.67), Washington ($8.70), Wisconsin ($8.98), and the California counties of Alameda ($9.85), Butte ($9.00), Sacramento ($8.97), San Francisco ($10.58), San Joaquin ($9.00), Santa Clara ($9.32), Stanislaus ($9.25), and Yolo ($8.89), reported the highest average wage at placement.
ORR also tracked the cost per job placement in each State and California county. This measure is the ratio of the total funds used by the State for employment services divided by the number of refugees entering employment during the fiscal year. The average unit cost for all States was $2,018.86 per job placement. This represented a $134.84 increase from the FY 2004 average unit cost of $1,884.02.
Shown below is a summary of the FY 2004 and FY 2005 outcomes for all States and by State. The caseload presented for each State and county consists of the number of refugees with whom a service provider had regular and direct involvement during the fiscal year in planned employment-related activities for the purpose of assisting the refugee to find or retain employment. For terminations, reductions, and retentions, each goal and outcome is also described as a percentage of entered employments. Some States opted to express terminations and reductions as a percentage of refugee cash assistance recipients who entered employment, rather than as a percentage of all entered employments. Health benefit availability is presented as a percentage of full-time entered employments .
