Jobs First
Final Report on Connecticut's Welfare Reform Initiative
2002. Dan Bloom, Susan Scrivener, Charles Michalopoulos, Pamela Morris, Richard Hendra, Diana Adams-Ciardullo, Johanna Walter with Wanda Vargas.
MDRC's rigorous evaluation of Connecticut's statewide welfare reform — which includes a 21-month time limit on welfare benefits — has concluded that the program, called Jobs First, made substantial progress towards its key goal: replacing welfare with work. Jobs First, also modestly increased family income and generated some small improvements in the behavior of participants' young children, but it did not have consistent effects on families' material well-being. Connecticut's unemployment rate was very low during the study period, and most recipients who were unable to find jobs were granted extensions when they reached the time limit.
