Abstract

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of job access on employment outcomes for welfare recipients in Cleveland, Ohio. A longitudinal dataset combining administrative and survey data with multiple measures of access to jobs is used. Findings indicate that labor market outcomes are related to the residential locations of welfare leavers prior to employment.
