Current and Former WFNJ Clients How Are They Faring 30 Months Later

Shows that WFNJ clients continue to leave welfare for work and improve their outcomes. Although many are in low-paying jobs, their earnings are increasing, and more are getting fringe benefits. However, one in three remains on TANF, and they face multiple barriers to employment--for example, they tend to have poor health and low skills. Over one in ten has left welfare but has no stable source of financial support and relies on friends or relatives to make ends meet.
