I would like to add in particular one group, a very significant group: single mothers in this country, many of whom are unemployed and many of whom probably would like to be employed. The problem is not so much their willingness to be employed but the disincentives to employment in this country.
The other feature, I think, is that if you compare our training programs with some of the European programs, they have greater depth to their programs and they have greater longevity. Their programs run for longer periods of time. One of the things we have tended to do particularly with single mothers and people on welfare is to go for the quick job to get them off welfare and get them into a job, which may or may not last. So they cycle in and out all the time, whereas the Europeans have gone for the long term and, looking at the markets ahead, have moved toward middle- to high-end jobs as much as possible.
One of the realities with a lot of these single mothers is that they're reasonably well educated. The problem is the care of the kids and other kinds of things they have to deal with, as well as the family supports that are necessary to get them into the labour force. So you have a large significant group there who are not currently being touched in any realistic way.
