Milwaukee workfare seen as potential model for U.S.
Milwaukee County’s pay-for-work program cuts wages and hours while directing able-bodied welfare applicants to custodial tasks.

Deal says it helps bridge unemployment and aids those with severe personal problems, acting as a testing ground for broader welfare reform.
