Freedman manages the collection and assembly of data from surveys and administrative records and the use of these resources to study the employment behavior of welfare recipients and other low-income populations. Since joining MDRC in 1985, he has served as data manager for three of MDRC’s biggest research projects — the nine-site Employment Retention and Advancement study, the seven-site National Evaluation of Welfare-to-Work Strategies (NEWWS), and California’s six-site Greater Avenues for Independence (GAIN) evaluation — as well as for several smaller evaluations of welfare-to-work initiatives. The author of the process, impact, and benefit-cost analyses for various MDRC reports and papers, Freedman was project director and principal investigator for Los Angeles’s Jobs-First GAIN evaluation as well as senior impact analyst for NEWWS. Freedman holds two master’s degrees from the University of Chicago.
