Welfare and Work in the 1990s: Experiences in Six Cities

Peter Mueser and Christopher T. King

No 409, Working Papers from Department of Economics, University of Missouri

Abstract: Our study examines the dynamic structure of welfare participation and the labor market involvement of recipients starting in the early 1990s and extending through 1999 in the core counties containing six major urban areas: Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, and Kansas City. By focusing on six major cities, we can examine the extent to which differences in state and local policy, administrative directives, and local labor market conditions contribute to observed trends.
