Abstract: This paper studies employment patterns for low income workers receiving subsidized child care in Dade County, Florida. Florida has been an active state in welfare reform for several years. In July 1996, the AFDC program was supplanted in Florida by a new welfare program, Work and Gain Economic Self Sufficiency (WAGES). With the WAGES program, the state received an additional $45 million to focus on work opportunity creation, support services, and child care.
