Welfare to Temporary Work: Implications for Labor Market Outcomes
研究临时帮助就业对福利领取者后续就业和福利动态的影响,发现任何就业都有显著益处,临时工初始工资较低但增长更快,两年后就业率和工资接近其他工人,仅略高概率继续领福利。
We explore the effects of temporary help employment on welfare recipients' subsequent employment and welfare dynamics. We find that any employment-in temporary help services or other sectors-yields substantial benefits compared to no employment. Although welfare recipients who go to work for temporary help service firms have lower initial wages than those with jobs in other sectors, they experience faster subsequent wage growth. Two years later, they are no less likely to be employed, their wages are close to those of other workers, and they are only slightly more likely to remain on welfare. © 2005 President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
