Th is study, using direct observation and measurement techniques, analyzed the occupational skills
of these two groups. The results showed that the employed adults performed significantly better on each of the thirteen job-related skills involved in the occupational skills assessment . These differences were found consistent across job-finding and job-retention skills. These findings
suggest that an important role for employment counselors might be to teach the skills involved in finding and retaining employment to unemployed persons.
