CHICAGO (AllPolitics, Aug. 30) -- President Bill Clinton is proposing a $3.4 billion initiative to help people on welfare obtain jobs. The most expensive part of the proposal calls for a $3 billion program over three years to provide up to $3,000 for each job created for a welfare recipient. The aim is to place one million of the hardest-to-place recipients in jobs by the year 2000. The White House is also calling for a $383 million targeted tax credit for employers who hire welfare recipients through the
year 2000.
