The aim of this analysis was to investigate job retention for New Deal 50 plus Employment Credit claimants, in the year following the end of their entitlement. Job retention is seen as an important measure of the success of the programme. The methodology involved analysing the New Deal 50 plus evaluation database to profile Employment Credit claimants’ characteristics, and the nature of job retention after the Credit ends. Job retention was measured on the basis that recipients did not return to benefit. Of the 75,000 customers who had started claiming the Employment Credit, up to June 2002; 69 per cent are male, 32 per cent disabled, 96 per cent white, 42 per cent married, and 12 per cent self employed. The majority of Employment Credit claimants fall into the 50-54 age group (59 per cent), and were previously claiming JSA (72 per cent). There are concentrations of Employment Credit claimants in northern Jobcentre Plus regions.
