Season six of “The Uncertain Hour,” a podcast from our colleagues at Marketplace, explores the legacy and efficacy of welfare reform by examining “the welfare-to-work industrial complex, and some of the multimillion-dollar for-profit companies that run many welfare offices around the country.” The season focuses on the state of Wisconsin, an early testing ground for the welfare-to-work model and a state that has contracted with private, for-profit companies to administer much of its welfare program. The Research Lab provided data analysis for the podcast, and this data supplement includes additional details about some of the data discussed in the latest season of “The Uncertain Hour.”
