更好的工作。到目前为止，美国的福利改革在减少福利工作量和提高现任和前任福利接受者的就业率方面取得了显著成功。在就业的其他方面，如工作绩效、留任和晋升，还没有注意到类似的增长。归根结底，这些因素将是福利接受者在劳动力市场赚取的工资和福利以及他们养家糊口和实现经济独立的最重要决定因素之一。但到目前为止，关于这些问题的研究证据有限，现有的大部分证据表明，留存率和升级率都很低。这份简报提供了有关福利受助人工作表现和留任的新证据。特别是，最近的一项调查得出了新的发现，该调查侧重于四个大城市地区的雇主在雇用福利接受者方面的经验。然后，根据从这一领域的各种计划评估中了解到的情况，这项研究考虑了这些发现对保留和提升福利受助人的政策意味着什么。
better jobs. Welfare reform in the United States to date has been remarkably successful at reducing welfare caseloads and raising employment rates among current and former welfare recipients. Similar gains have not yet been noted in other aspects of employment, such as job performance, retention, and advancement. Ultimately, these factors will be among the most important determinants of the wages and benefits that welfare recipients earn in the labor market and of their ability to support their families and achieve financial independence. But the research evidence to date on these issues has been limited, and what is available has mostly suggested low rates of retention and advancement. This brief presents new evidence on job performance and retention among welfare recipients. In particular, new findings have been drawn from a recent survey that focuses on the experiences of employers from four large metropolitan areas in hiring welfare recipients. The study then considers what these findings imply for policies on retention and advancement of welfare recipients, in light of what is known from various program evaluations in this area.
