Miller is an economist whose current work focuses on policies and programs to increase the employment and earnings of low-wage workers. She serves as research director for the multi-site Work Advancement and Support Centers Demonstration, a unique program that joins the workforce and human services systems to provide low-wage workers with better access to financial work supports and services for career advancement. She is also a lead investigator on the Employment Retention and Advancement Projects in the U.S. and the U.K and the Opportunity NYC Project. Her other work at MDRC has focused on the effects of providing financial incentives to work to low-income families and their effects on employment, income, and family well-being. She has also conducted a range of nonexperimental research at MDRC, including research on the interaction between child support receipt and welfare receipt and an analysis of individuals who cycle on and off welfare. As a recent Fulbright grantee, she examined the effects of Argentina’s safety net program on informal and formal employment. She received her Ph.D. in Economics from Columbia University.
