17. Calculation Adult/Dislocated Worker Earnings Increase Example: $950,000 - $550,000 = 400,000 = $2,380.95 240 exiters - 60**-12* = 168 **These 60 Adults were not employed in the 1st quarter after exit, so they are excluded. * Supplemental data was used to verify employment for these 12 Adults, so they are excluded.

18. Calculation Calculating Earnings Replacement for Dislocated Workers Calculation: Earnings in 2nd and 3rd Quarters after Exit divided by Earnings in 2nd and 3rd Quarters before Participation

19. Individual Calculation Adult/Dislocated Worker Earnings Increase Individual calculation: What if a customer has a pre-program hourly wage of about $6.00? Example: Goal for PY 2005 = $3,774 (for 2nd & 3rd quarters after exit). If a customer earned $6,240 during the 2nd and 3rd qtrs. before participation (approx. $6/hr.).

20. Individual Calculation Adult/Dislocated Worker Earnings Increase Individual calculation: What if customers have high pre-program earnings? S/he would need to earn $10,014 for the 2nd and 3rd qtrs. after exit or an annual salary of $20,028 ($9.63/hour) to achieve the goal.

If an adult earned $0 during the 2nd and 3rd qtrs. before participation, S/he would need to earn $3,774 for the 2nd and 3rd qtrs. after exit or an annual income of $7,548 to achieve the goal (or $3.63/hour).
