The Employment and Training Institute was asked to provide a detailed demographic analysis of the population on public assistance and the working poor not receiving public assistance in Milwaukee County.

Background Paper On Institutional Data And U.S. Census Counts Of Low-Income Populations In Milwaukee County, John Pawasarat
ETI Publications
Comparisons of institutional data and the U.S. census estimates for the same or similar time periods revealed a large undercount of AFDC recipients. For both the CPS and decennial census surveys, respondents are asked to recall earnings and other sources of income for the previous calendar year. As a result, income reporting to the Census Bureau is subject to memory error and under-reporting. Errors due to under-reporting are most pronounced for income not derived from earnings (i.e., public assistance, interest, dividends). Discrepancies between U. S. Census estimates for the public assistance population compared to actual payment records from state public …

Demographics Of Milwaukee County Populations Expected To Work Under Proposed Welfare Reform, John Pawasarat, Lois M. Quinn
ETI Publications
The Employment and Training Institute was asked to provide a detailed demographic analysis of Milwaukee County cases on public assistance and the working poor to assist policy makers in discussions of current welfare reform proposals (referred to as “W-2”). An estimated 30,448 out of 37,415 AFDC cases in Milwaukee County would be expected to work under the state's proposed welfare policy changes while 6,967 cases would be exempt because the casehead is on SSI or caring for another relative's children. Much of the AFDC population is currently employed or has recent labor market attachment. Based on historical and recent caseload …

Integrating Milwaukee County Afdc Recipients Into The Local Labor Market, John Pawasarat, Lois M. Quinn
ETI Publications
This report examines the availability of jobs for mothers receiving AFDC and expected to find family-sustaining employment in the private sector under “W-2,” Wisconsin’s new welfare program. Despite the fact that many full and part-time jobs exist in Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington counties, few women in the “W-2” population are likely to secure employment outside Milwaukee County. Census data for· the Milwaukee County population of women ages 18-39 indicated that only 5 percent of African American and Hispanic women (and 11 percent of white women) found work outside the county. Availability of transportation is a problem as only a third …
