Research Abstract	Job assistance for low-income people in the United States is carried out through cooperation among various agencies. Recently, state governments have begun to implement job assistance program for low-income people to enable career advancement. There is no program that has clearly succeeded in making low-income people self-sufficient. It is necessary to verify the result of job assistance by using long-term data about people who complete job assistance programs, because job assistance programs for career advancement are beginning to be implemented.
