Hiring numbers on the increase in welfare to work programs
An Associated Press survey shows three times as many large firms now run welfare to work programs as a year ago, with 34 of the 100 largest companies participating and 13 planning. UPS hired about 8,300 former welfare recipients last year, while the Welfare to Work Partnership grows to 5,000 members. The trend supports 135,000 welfare recipients hired in the past year, with two thirds receiving health benefits and full-time status for about 70 percent.

Greenbrier County schools posted better countywide Stanford scores than state averages and spent $388 less per pupil, but the 1996 97 state report card reveals a split. East Greenbrier elementary schools excelled while western units lagged, though data are a year old and not county breakdowns.
