Job separation behavior of welfare recipients: results from a unique case study

Jill Marie Gunderson and Julie L. Hotchkiss

No 2004-12, Working Paper from Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta

Abstract: This paper uses a unique personnel data set to explore job separation behavior among welfare hires. Our results indicate that welfare hires are no less stable than similar nonwelfare hires; however, time until separation does differ across welfare status by reason for separation. We also found that the presence of a mentoring program will increase time until separation for both welfare and nonwelfare hires.
