Examines how three of the largest federal programs for workforce training and job placement are affecting racial and ethnic disparities in today's labor market. Conrad finds that the Wagner-Peyser Employment Service, the Workforce Investment Act, and the Adult and WIA Dislocated Workers program have a mixed record in their impact on black and Latino workers in particular. She attributes this to race-indifference in the design and operation of these programs. Concludes with a set of recommendations for making these systems work better for all job seekers.
