Georgia Works: Obama Plan To Let Jobless Work For Free Gets Key Backing From Paul Ryan

Georgia Works: Obama Plan To Let Jobless Work For Free Gets Key Backing From Paul Ryan: "The Georgia Department of Labor has said that within three months of participating in a voluntary job training program, nearly two-thirds of trainees found work. The program has been copied by other states, and the White House has indicated it is considering something similar as part of a forthcoming jobs package.
But the 60 percent of workers who participated in the Georgia program and supposedly found steady work may not have done so. The statistic means only that at some point within 90 days after a person completed the training, the person's Social Security number popped up in state payroll data. It doesn't mean the trainee had a job at the 90-day mark; it could even mean that a person worked just one day during those three months."
