Workfare programs save money and create jobs study says
A major study by the Manpower Demonstration Research Corp tracks 35,000 welfare recipients in 11 states since 1982. It finds workfare helps some get jobs but mainly saves taxpayers money, with job search paired programs often more common than direct workfare and the federal government seeing the largest net savings. In San Diego 61 percent found work after job search plus workfare versus 55 percent not steered toward work.
