Welfare reform, unemployment compensation, and the social wage: dismantling family support under Wisconsin's W-2 workfare plan

Article Abstract:

Wisconsin's workfare program places people into low-paying jobs without unemployment benefits and the program does not provide job training options that would lift the workers to better paying jobs providing unemployment insurance. Unlike most working Americans, the workfare participants' employment does not allow them to earn entitlement to unemployment insurance should they faultlessly lose their jobs after the the program ends. Without unemployment benefits and job training programs, these workers will struggle to resolve medical, transportation, and housing issues.
