|
| |
|
|
2008. David Navarro, Gilda Azurdia, and Gayle Hamilton.
This report, from the Employment Retention and Advancement Project, finds that unemployed welfare recipients in an enhanced job club had no better employment outcomes than participants in a traditional job club. At the end of the 18-month follow-up period, about half of both groups were employed.

A Profile of Families Cycling on and off Welfare
|
| |
|
|
2004. Lashawn Richburg-Hayes and Stephen Freedman.
In MDRC’s study of over 160,000 single-parent welfare recipients, families who repeatedly return to welfare assistance—“cyclers”—were less disadvantaged in the labor market than long-term welfare recipients. At the same time, they were less able than short-term recipients to attain stable employment and to work without welfare.

Alternative Employment Strategies for Hard-to-Employ TANF Recipients
Final Results from a Test of Transitional Jobs and Preemployment Services in Philadelphia
|
| |
|
|
2011. Erin Jacobs and Dan Bloom.
An evaluation of two different welfare-to-work strategies for long-term welfare recipients finds that: (1) transitional jobs substantially increased employment in the short term, but these effects faded after one year, and (2) it is difficult to engage welfare recipients in extensive preemployment services long enough to improve their employability.
