| Detailed Objective: This project provides a comprehensive descriptive analysis on labor force participation
of households with income under the food stamp threshold and on the jobs that
food stamp recipients are likely to enter. The research will use both household
data and employer data in order to bring together worker characteristics and job
characteristics for analysis of worker skills and job requirements. Of particular
interest in the project are the characteristics of low-skilled workers and of
low-wage jobs. The agreement was amended in fiscal 2001 for $5,000. |
