Guaranteed income does not prompt quitting jobs in Seattle study

About 2,100 welfare and low income families have received 3600 to 5600 dollars per year for up to five years, with earnings offset on a sliding scale. Officials say data is incomplete but no labor market withdrawal is evident, though a small reduction in hours may occur. A parallel Denver study covers 3600 families.
