Data from the 13 district parole offices of New Jersey formed the basis of this analysis of the employment and earnings of parolees in New Jersey during 1990.
Abstract
The State had 22,157 paroles under supervision in 1990, and they earned $61 million. Thirty-two percent were under supervision for 10-12 months; 14 percent from 7-9 months; 23 percent for 4-6 months; and 31 percent for 3 months or less. Thirty-nine percent were employed; 41 percent were unemployed throughout the year; and 20 percent were unemployable due to being missing or in custody, in school, engaged in homemaking, or incapacitated. The overall economic situation and the shorter periods of parole supervision may have resulted in lower employment and earnings for 1990 than for earlier years. Figures and tables
