Book excerpt: One of the more significant measures of the effectiveness of the Manpower Development and Training Act training program is how well the graduates fare in terms of earnings after completion of training as compared with their earnings prior to training. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of Manpower Development and Training Act training in upgrading skills and enlarging the earning capacities of trainees. Many of the graduates who previously could command only the most marginal jobs were able to successfully compete within the labor force for jobs paying at least the minimum acceptable standard for their new occupations. In some cases they were able to jump across the wage range from their former marginal status to earnings well above the average.
