An Investigation Into the Computerized Data Bases of the Employment & Training Administration Regional Management Information System Project (RMIS) Report on Second-Year Activities 1975-1976

摘要

Although it is probably better known for its many other functions, the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is one of the largest statistical agencies within the federal establishment. Through the operations of its components, such as the U. S. Employment Service (USES), Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) training programs, and the Unemployment Insurance Service (UIS), the ETA has created a very powerful data collection network. The ETA has not, however, created the necessary computer systems for the rapid retrieval, analysis, and display of information to meet the individual and non-routine needs of its operating staff or to meet the needs of the general public. The research and development project, discussed below, is aimed at initiating steps toward the solution of this deficiency.
