Extractions: For Welfare Reform to Work, Jobs Must be Available By Heather Boushey and David Rosnick April 1, 2004 As Congress debates significant changes to the Personal Responsibility and Work Reconciliation Act , commonly known as welfare reform, they should take into account the hardships that higher unemployment has caused for low-income women and their families. Wanting to be off welfare is not enough; the labor market must provide employment opportunities. Although the recession was relatively brief, from March to November 2001, the labor market continued to shed jobs until late summer 2003. Since then, job growth has been paltry at best and the unemployment rate of less educated women and single female heads of households remains high. Former welfare recipients found jobs in a small number of industries, many of which saw higher job gains and stronger wage growth than the economy overall in the late 1990s. However, during the economic recession of 2001 and the recent recovery, these same industries have not performed as well. Over the recovery, of the eight private-sector industries with a high proportion of former welfare recipients, three have seen greater job losses than the private sector overall. Wage growth has been slower than the average for the private sector overall for workers in retail trade, food services and drinking places, temporary help, nursing and residential care, and child day care services. With jobs scare and wage growth slow to negative in the industries that former welfare recipients found employment in, increasing work hour requirements above the existing 30 hours would not create jobs, but make life harder for those already struggling to find a job. Mandating more work hours from the people hardest hit from the recession would not help to increase employment; rather, what welfare reform needs is robust job growth.

But, as I argued last week, it also creates huge challenges for the continent's richer west. If the west is to cope, it must make big reforms to its labour markets and welfare states. Integration of two economies generates price and wage convergence. If that convergence is prevented, the gains are thwarted and unemployment results. If wages are pushed too high in the poorer region, as happened during German unification, unemployment will emerge there. If wages are kept too high in the richer region, the unemployment will emerge there, instead, as production shifts to the low-wage region next door.

http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/collections/policy/welfare.html

Extractions: Policy News Flashes In 1996, President Clinton signed into law the The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-193) , a welfare reform plan that requires work in exchange for time-limited assistance. A new system of block grants to states for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) was created, changing the nature and provision of welfare benefits in America. Moving people from welfare into work is now one of the primary goals of federal welfare policy. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 , signed by President Clinton in 1997 helps to achieve that goal by authorizing the U. S. Department of Labor to provide $2 billion annually in Welfare-to-Work grants to states and local communities to create additional job opportunities for the hardest-to-employ recipients of TANF. Low basic skills are among the most common barriers to employment for TANF clients. Research has shown that recipients with work barriers are less likely to find jobs, have lower earnings on average, and are more likely to lose assistance because of a sanction for program noncompliance than families without barriers. The law that created TANF expires on September 30, 2002. Congress is currently considering legislation to reauthorize the program, which will set the nation's welfare policies for the next five years. Congress is also considering some modifications to the rules and funding of the TANF program, including the rules that apply to adult education and training opportunities.

Extractions: Jump to the Navigation Bar The Effect of Welfare Reform on the Insurance Status and Health of Low-Income Families The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996 enacted sweeping changes in the welfare program, including work requirements and lifetime limits on participation. As a result of PRWORA and earlier state reform efforts, as well as other factors such as a concurrent economic boom, the number of welfare recipients fell by 62 percent between 1993 and 2001, from 14.1 million to 5.4 million. One potential unintended consequence of welfare reform may have been to increase the number of low-income families without health insurance. Under the old system, families on welfare were automatically enrolled in Medicaid, a government health insurance program for poor women and children. After welfare reform, women transitioning from welfare to work may have taken jobs that did not offer private health insurance benefits. While many of these families remained eligible for Medicaid, at least on a transitional basis, they would now have to go through a separate, unfamiliar application process to enroll. In fact, there were striking changes in the health insurance status of low-educated single mothers during the 1990s, as illustrated in Figure 1 - many women moved off of public health insurance programs, some gaining private health insurance benefits and others becoming uninsured.

Extractions: 7 Morrill Hall, Fargo, ND 58105-5665 May 7, 1998 Many North Dakota residents currently on public assistance are unlikely to be able to find jobs that pay a living wage, an NDSU analysis and current labor statistics show. "In North Dakota, the estimated cost of living for an employed single mother with two children ages 4 and 6 is $511 a week. That equates to $2,213 a month or $26,556 a year," says Debra Pankow, extension family economics specialist at NDSU. "To meet her monthly cost of living, this not-so-hypothetical single mother would need to earn a take-home wage of $12.77 an hour." How does this scenario compare to reality? Job Service North Dakota reports that in 1995 the median full-time income for men ages 25 to 34 was $12.25. The median income for women in the same age group was slightly more than $10. Pankow says the $26,566 "living wage" used in this examples includes costs for housing and utilities, food, child care, transportation, and basic household and personal-care items. But it does not include costs for entertainment, birthday gifts or other gifts, toys, tobacco products, or alcohol. The majority of low-income North Dakotans enrolled in the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program are single-parent families—typically single mothers, who eventually will need jobs that pay a living wage, due to the 60-month limit on welfare assistance.

Extractions: Research Publications Economists Research Centers Conferences ... Economic Data The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996 Effects of welfare reform on labor force entry of targeted populations Welfare reform and the U.S. labor force participation rate Conclusion On August 22, 1996, President Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act into law and ended the sixty-two year old federal entitlement system for the needy commonly referred to as welfare. Since then, welfare caseloads in the U.S. have fallen by 12 percent (see Figure 1 ). Over the same period, approximately 2.3 million individuals have joined the labor force, boosting the labor force participation rate (the percentage of working age men and women employed or seeking work) by 0.4 percentage point to 67.1 percent in July 1997. The coincidence of these two events with the passage of welfare reform naturally raises the question: "Are they related?" This Economic Letter examines these topics. The analysis assesses the extent to which welfare reform has induced targeted populations to enter the labor force and whether or not reform-related labor market entry has affected the U.S. aggregate labor force participation rate. The results suggest that welfare reform appears to have induced a portion of the targeted population to enter the labor market rather than move onto the welfare rolls, but that relative to the number of individuals entering the U.S. labor market during the past year, potential welfare recipients make up only a small fraction.

http://www.issa.int/pdf/publ/summary/2welfare.htm

Extractions: A comparative assessment of the French and U.S. experiences Since the late 1980s welfare policies in France and the United States have increasingly been shaped by a strong emphasis on citizens' obligations to work and be independent, and a weakening of entitlements to income maintenance. Throughout the advanced industrialized nations, welfare reforms incorporate work-oriented measures such as financial incentives, insertion contracts, training, and requirements to search for and accept jobs. The evidence in this volume suggests that while the details may vary, welfare reforms in France and the United States have more in common than is often acknowledged. Welfare reform provides an in-depth analysis of the development and structure of modern welfare programmes and how they function. The dynamics of welfare reform are illuminated by focusing on two programmes: the Revenu Minimum d'Insertion in France and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families in the United States. Taking various analytic approaches, contributors examine the relations between poverty and work, how U.S. and French models of income support have been transformed in recent times, the relative impacts of economic growth and policy reforms on rates of welfare participation, and what happens to recipients who leave the welfare rolls. Welfare reform will help researchers and policymakers gain perspective on where they are headed and how best to get there as they journey down the highway of welfare reform.

http://www.wsws.org/articles/1999/sep1999/pov-s10.shtml

Extractions: 10 September 1999 Use this version to print In 1997 the extreme poverty level was $6,401 a year, or the equivalent of $123 a week for a family of three. Deborah Weinstein, director of CDF's Family Income division, emphasized the negative impact of poverty on children, saying "When children fall into extreme poverty, they suffer significant increases in stunted growth, lower academic test scores, and lower earnings years later." The CDF used an expanded definition of income that accounts for such non-cash sources of income as food stamps, school lunches, housing, the Earned Income Tax Credit and taxes in determining the poverty level. This method differs from the official measure that counts cash income only. Using the official standard, 4.4 million children live in extremely poor single mother families, more than twice the number reported by the CDF. However, the CDF used the expanded definition, a method used by many researchers both inside and outside the government, because it allows for a more careful analysis of the effects of the changes in government assistance programs on the extreme poverty rate. The CDF points out that since most children receiving welfare are living in poverty, changes in welfare laws would not necessarily produce changes in the poverty level. Whereas, by using the expanded definition of income in measuring the depth of poverty, they were able to look at the effect of welfare changes on the very poor.

Past Events Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Florida Welfare Reform: A Study of Income Levels for Black, Hispanic, and White Post-Welfare Recipients By Robert E. Beneckson M.S., Senior Researcher ( rbeneckson@bigfoot.com ); Marvin Dunn Ph.D,. Mentor; Anjenys Gonzalez B.S., Community Organizer; Clara Marichal M.L.A., Research Assistant. Presented in the summer of 2000 in Washington, D.C. Introduction One area of concern that has arisen with the passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunities Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996 is the potential for racial disparities in the implementation of the law. Around the country some researchers have begun to look into this question, but the focused work on racial disparities is still in the early stages. Susan Gooden, Ph.D. of the Center for Public Administration and Policy (CPAP) of Virginia Tech studied 223 female welfare recipients in the Culpeper region of Virginia on various dimensions of employment status and found among other things that, "In general, blacks earn less than whites, are less likely to be employed full time and are over-represented in lower paying occupations." Clark, Jarmon, and Langley studied 140 welfare leavers in five rural Florida counties and found, "Significant racial differences in employment and income were noted in our data. First, whites were more likely than Blacks to be currently employed (49.3% vs. 32.7%). Second, Black workers earned significantly less per hour than did White workers, and Blacks had household incomes that were two-thirds of White respondents."
