Using data from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's Central Personnel Data File, the authors compare differences in job-retention outcomes for Welfare-to-Work employees and similar non-Welfare-to-Work employees in federal agencies. This approach provides an innovative way to measure job-retention by comparing job-retention outcomes of Welfare-to-Work employees against non-Welfare-to-Work employees. The findings suggest that Welfare-to-Work employees have greater adds of retaining their jobs than non-Welfare-to-Work employees. The results provide useful insights into the dynamics of job retention among welfare recipients who are hired into federal-sector employment. - Reproduced Social welfare - United States Social welfare Bailey, Margo Public Administration Review 49190 49190 49190 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 61, Issue no: 1 AR49618 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
