Breitbart:
Jobs Program Spent $76,000 Per Person To Help Youth Find Minimum Wage Jobs
A new jobs training oversight report by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) found that a federally-funded Oklahoma Job Corps program spent around $76,000 per person to help youth secure minimum wage jobs.
The report, released Tuesday, comes 18 months after a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report that found that billions of taxpayer dollars are being poured into job training programs that benefit those who run them, not the unemployed workers they are supposed to assist.
"Taxpayers should be appalled Congress has done nothing to reform these programs for more than 18 months," said Sen. Coburn.
Sen. Coburn said he wanted to use his home state of Oklahoma as a case study for job training programs throughout the nation.
