Public housing residents would seek better-paying jobs if not penalized by higher rents

Article Abstract:

A 2005 report by the Manpower Demonstration Research Corporation reveals that residents of local housing agencies would probably seek out jobs that paid better if they were not penalized with higher rents. Higher rents, together with tax consequences, decreased the residents' income gains, diminishing the incentive to pursue a higher income, if not any job.
