Purpose. The purpose of this study was to examine the third quarter 1992 employment rates and average wages of individuals who were Targeted Jobs Tax Credit (TJTC) certified in Florida during the third quarter of 1987. The employment rates and average wages were compared to a select group of individuals who were released for employment in Florida by the Jobs Training Partnership Act (JTPA) during the same time period. The primary research question concerned the effectiveness of the TJTC program, a tax expenditure program, compared to the direct budget program JTPA.
