Whose Job Is It Employer's Views on Welfare Reform

Describes selected results from qualitative telephone interviews with 130 Minnesota employers who participated in local welfare-to-work partnerships with social service agencies & other community members. Differences among rural & urban/suburban employers are examined & comparisons are explored between welfare participant & employer views on service needs & barriers to self-sufficiency. The findings suggest that local partnerships between employers, government, & social service providers can help make welfare reform successful by helping at least some welfare recipients begin to work & become self-sufficient.
