Consequently, there are miles
of unpaved streets, open

WASHINGTON • Although
welfare recipients are being
encouraged to and sometimes
coerced into finding jobs to
support themselves, the Gov
ernment actually (iiscourages
them from taking paying jobs
because of a "nightmarish set
of rules,” according to a
Congressional subcommittee
report released Dec. 21.
"Somv people argue that
velfare recipients do nol want
to work and others contend that
there are nol enough jobs.” said
Rep. Martha W. Griffiths
(D-Mich ). chairman of the
Senate-House subcommittee on
fiscal policy, which issued the
report. "But few bother to ask
how much the available jobs are
worth to beneficiaries of public
programs ”
The report cited us an
example the case of a mother of
three in Now Jersev who
receives Aid to Families with
Dependent Children, food
stamps, public housing, and
Medicaid benefits and who does
not work If she took a job
paying Sl.OOO-a-month. the stu
dy said, her income would be
impn ved by only $20(>-a-monlh
bec.'»*«se she would lose about
$81)0 worth of government
benefits.
