大多数旨在帮助单身母亲摆脱福利而就业的福利转工作方案都侧重于寻找工作的挑战。这篇文章超越了就业的角度来考虑许多前福利领取者保住工作的困难。作者回顾了一些证据，这些证据表明，许多家庭在福利和工作之间来回循环，失去工作，在再次寻找工作时返回公共援助。造成高失业率的因素包括工作和工人的特点。临时工作、频繁裁员、工资低于工作费用、缺乏满足雇主期望的经验以及个人或家庭问题都导致解雇和辞职。从创新项目的经验中，作者建议改变政策和项目方法，帮助家庭克服挫折，稳定他们的生活，因为他们从福利转向越来越稳定的就业。
Most welfare-to-work programs designed to help single mothers leave welfare for employment focus on the challenge of finding a job. This article looks beyond the point of employment to consider the difficulty many former welfare recipients have keeping their jobs. The authors review evidence showing that many families cycle back and forth between welfare and work, losing jobs and returning to public assistance while they seek work again. Factors contributing to high rates of job loss include characteristics of the job and of the worker. Temporary jobs, frequent layoffs, low pay in relation to work expenses, lack of experience meeting employer expectations, and personal or family problems all lead to dismissals and resignations. Drawing from the experience of innovative programs, the authors recommend policy changes and program approaches that can help families overcome setbacks and stabilize their lives as they move from welfare into increasingly stable employment.
