Given the adverse effects of long-term unemployment, it is of major concern that evidence-based interventions are available for the long-term unemployed. Therefore, we examined the effectiveness of the JOBS program, a group training for the unemployed [Caplan, R. D., Vinokur, A. D., Price, R. H. and Van Ryn, M. (1989). Journal of Applied Psychology, 74, 759-769], among long-term unemployed individuals. In a randomly controlled trial, JOBS was compared with a control condition and a voucher intervention, in which individuals were given the opportunity to spend a certain budget on services that could help them reintegrate. After 6 months JOBS participants had more often found a job and were more satisfied with the intervention. After 12 months effects were still visible, but less pronounced.
鉴于长期失业带来的不利影响，令人担忧的是，针对长期失业者的循证干预措施尚未普及。因此，我们研究了 JOBS 项目（一种针对失业者的群体培训）的效果[Caplan, R. D., Vinokur, A. D., Price, R. H. and Van Ryn, M. (1989). Journal of Applied Psychology, 74, 759-769]，其针对的是长期失业者。在一项随机对照试验中，JOBS 项目与对照组和代金券干预措施进行了比较，后者为个体提供了将一定预算用于帮助其重新融入社会的服务的机会。6 个月后，JOBS 项目的参与者找到工作的比例更高，对干预措施的满意度也更高。12 个月后效果仍然明显，但程度较轻。
