Working Out of Poverty: Employment Retention and Career Advancement for Welfare Recipients

While many welfare recipients leave the rolls within a year, a large number return back to the rolls within a short period of time. It is therefore advantageous for the states to promote job retention for newly hired welfare recipients. This website provides access to this report which explains how states can be successful at helping keep welfare recipients employed by responding to the needs of both recipients and employers. Sections include: executive summary; introduction; understanding the changing environment for recipients making the transition from welfare to work; helping welfare recipients stay employed; helping recipients increase their wages and advance; using transitional employment as a career development strategy for the hard-to-place; conclusion; and endnotes and bibliography.
