Abstract	This second annual report describes implementation of the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills (JOBS) program in Ohio. Part I is a synthesis of findings, conclusions, and recommendations based on information obtained in 15 demonstration counties. Chapter 1 provides background on the historical development of assistance programs in the United States and Ohio. Chapter 2 discusses similar and unique approaches that counties take to orient and assess Aid to Families with Dependent Children recipients who are entering the JOBS program and the difficulties that may be encountered. Chapter 3 presents an overview of the JOBS program as seen by individuals in the 15 demonstration counties. It is organized by the three major components to which clients can be assigned--education and training, Community Work Experience Programs, and Job Club--and by employers' experiences hiring JOBS participants. Chapter 4 contains findings and recommendations. Part II presents summary descriptions of the implementation of the JOBS programs in the 15 demonstration counties. Each summary describes major characteristics of the county, structure of the JOBS program, orientation and assessment procedures used, and factors considered when assigning clients to components. It discusses each major component of the JOBS program in the county and effects of the change from Transitions to Independence, the preceding work program, to JOBS. Each summary concludes with a list of major problems or suggestions for improvement in the JOBS program. (A 13-item reference list at the end of Part I and 43 data tables are included.) (YLB)
