This article examines whether retraining helps dislocated or displaced workers find new jobs or receive comparable pay. Dislocated or displaced workers are experienced workers who are dismissed due to work-site closings or significant downsizings. The authors compare dislocated workers who received retraining to dislocated workers who did not receive retraining. They find that retraining fails to improve the probability that workers will get new jobs, get full-time jobs, get higher pay, receive decent benefits, experience acceptable working conditions, have reasonable commute times, or get new jobs with a future, that is, with reasonable security in continued employment
