There is a growing problem with unemployment through the nation. The Rossi stated “there is a problem with unemployment rates in the inner-city neighborhoods” (2004). I can see that being a problem throughout the nation. To help decrease the numbers of unemployed people the government has instituted programs that can assist in ensuring people have the capabilities to get into jobs. This could provide ways for people to get training and education needed to be productive. Also the government has made it beneficial for companies to move into areas that there was a need for people to gain employment. In knowing that there is an issue with unemployment the government would have to understand who would benefit from the need to implement programs or incentive to have businesses increase growth in certain areas. So we have to think about how the “high levels of poverty, the worst neighborhoods also have numerous signs of social disorder. Crime and physical blight are the most apparent, but they are accompanied by low work levels among the residents, soaring high school dropout rates, low marriage rates, and high rates of non-marital births” as stated by Haskins (2010). This can be hard at times to measure but it is achievable. In know thing problem and the target audience the government can see that just throwing money at the situation would not fix the problem. Instead they can take the time and analyze the situation and implement the correct course of actions. With the problem being identified as unemployment among people of the inner city; now that means the government would have to take the time to see how they can fix the issue with the resources they have on hand or would they have to bring in other means. We would have a description of the target audience from the inner city being the people who have lost jobs because of businesses relocating or closing. Or it could be fact that companies don’t see a strong financial reasoning for being in an area. ‘The lack of businesses and jobs in disadvantaged urban areas fuels not only a crushing cycle of poverty but also crippling social problems” as stated by Porter (1995). That could change if the government were to give more of an incentive for business to hire more workers. The government programs that could be put in place could show the effect of the program being in place in other areas and how it would affect the people in that area the same. No to places are alike but the chances for a similar affect is great. For example if a program were to ensure that people in a location were placed in employment for a factory and the people of that area were factory workers previously then the chances for success would be great. That would be different if they were just forcing the work on people who never done it before and thought it would work out because the people needed jobs. You have to take inventory of you personnel and build on their attributes and work skills. In building the evaluation of the unemployment problem there has to be a feasible outcome. This can be achieved by strong observation and identification of who needs the help and what would best suit the people of the area. There are several models and programs out there but that doesn’t mean what worked in one area would work in another. So it could take some time but it is achievable if the proper resources are put in place. In the outcomes the program managers or stakeholders need to set the expectations for the program to a point where it would take a drastic step backwards for failure to occur. Meaning the program should have solid solution based on surveys or information from the community. This would be the best baseline to take into the assessment. The assessment is where would put all the information gathered into a table or data base for comparison. With this information we can take it to the decision makers and plead the case for the need to increase the employment in certain areas. This can be seen as a chance to decrease crime or even the homeless rate in the community. This data is important because it comes directly from the people affect by the problem and will go directly to the people who can make the appropriate decisions on how the problem can be fixed. So there has to be great communication between all parties throughout the whole process. There shouldn’t be any form of communication gaps between the audience and decision makers even if the communication is indirect. The overall goal of the analysis would be to bring jobs to areas that there were any none at previously.
