The Economic Policy Institute recently released a
new Briefing Paper,
When Work Just Isn't Enough, which examines the
hardships families experience on and off welfare. Many families that have left
welfare rolls to join the workforce experience hardships even when they are
successful in finding work. This means that millions of working families that
once relied on welfare still often find themselves without enough food,
sufficient access to health or child care, or affordable, decent housing. This
Briefing Paper contains state-level data for 13 states.
