Welfare reform law set to affect jobs lightly
Washington AP notes a new federal rule requiring 1.5 million welfare recipients to register for work or training will have limited impact. With high unemployment and tight budgets, only about 140,000 welfare fathers will be auto signed up before July 1, and many mothers will join as recertifications occur. Fewer than half are expected to be interviewed, and only those with openings will be placed without extra training. Exemptions apply to some caregivers, school students, and distant residents. The White House seeks $250 million plus $205 million for WIN, funding 8,000 public service jobs and 24,500 training posts, though HEW officials call it limited for the reach. The WIN program shows mixed results, with many dropping out and modest placements over four years. Welfare caseloads for AFDC rose 28 percent last year. Miss Minnesota contestants arrive in Austin for pageant events.
