Abstract	To assess the feasibility of large-scale, countercyclical public job creation, a study was initiated. Job creation program activities were examined in terms of how many activities could be undertaken; what would be their costs; and what would be their characteristics (labor-intensity, skill-mix, and political acceptability) that might contribute to cost benefit analysis. Onsite and offsite job-creation was considered. The potential inflationary pressure that could be generated was also considered. Finally, administrative and organizational issues that might pose significant implementation barriers were reviewed. Information was gathered through field visits and correspondence with national organization representatives in Washington and representatives from twenty-four local communities. Some major findings and conclusions are (1) the study identified 233 potential job-creation activities in twenty-one program areas. The largest number of activities were in public works, environmental quality, education, social services, and criminal justice; (2) inferences about average costs and targeting effectiveness should not be drawn from onsite job-creation and cost data alone; (3) worker selection targeting restrictions and eligibility criteria ought to be flexible; and (4) selected priorities areas include housing, health, and criminal justice. Inadequate planning time and training resources were singled out, among seven potential barriers, as amenable to policy actions to minimize the difficulties they produce. (CSS)
