The Job Search and Relocation Assistance Program furnishes financial and other assistance to Employment Service registrants who are willing to relocate to find employment for which they are qualified by reason of training and experience. As a result of questions about the operating practices of the program, the migratory experiences of the unemployed were analyzed, using data different from that of the Job Search and Relocation Assistance Program. The data chosen was taken from the NLS of Young Men. It seems that the Job Search and Relocation Assistance Program's policy of restricting enrollment to persons willing to relocate may be overly exclusionary. Also, since friends and relatives at the destination are an important factor in the migration of the unemployed, the program should continue to encourage the use of such contacts in placing relocatees.
