Information on State Versus Local Administration of CETA Prime Sponsors in Michigan

GAO compared State and local administration of Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) programs in Michigan for fiscal year 1981 to determine whether State administration results in: (1) lower administrative costs for prime sponsors; (2) better program outcome; (3) better mechanisms for providing linkages in coordination between CETA programs and other employment and training activities; and (4) a more accurate identification of the demographics of the CETA eligible population.
