Summary note
"The coordinated push to move an increasing number of welfare recipients off assistance and into full-time work has raised a number of key questions about the nature of the labor market for less skilled workers: Will employment opportunities for former welfare recipients be vulnerable to future recessions? How quickly will workers' wages grow as they gain labor market experience? What is the effect of eligibility time limits on those who remain on welfare despite financial incentives and administrative prodding to leave? The twelve chapters in this book address these and many other important questions about the labor market prospects facing less skilled workers in the aftermath of recent welfare reform legislation." -- p. 1.
