The JOBS Program and Rural Areas

Leslie A. Whitener

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1991, vol. 07, issue 2

Abstract: The Family Support Act of 1988 is the latest attempt to help welfare recipients find jobs and avoid long-term dependence on public assistance. States face difficulties trying to provide job-market services to rural residents. Some rural counties will have no program at all. Others will not offer a full range of training and employment services. Statewide JOBS programs must be set up by late 1992.
