Activity; Comment Request; Proposed

Title: TANF Labor Market Survey.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: Understanding the
motivations, hiring practices, and work
place policies of employers—the
demand side of the labor market—can
provide considerable information to
policy makers interested in promoting
work and advancement among welfare
recipients and other less-skilled
workers. This project will add to our
knowledge in this area by surveying
employers in the TANF/low-wage labor
market. We will survey a national
sample of employers, focusing on
industry sectors with the most jobs in
the low-wage labor market, the
employers most relevant for the majority
of current and recent TANF recipients.
The survey will gather information from
employers on their attitudes, practices,
and policies toward TANF recipient and
other low-skill hires, including
information on worker advancement,
the use of work force intermediaries in
hiring, and the role that child care plays
in worker retention. The survey will
allow for comparisons of employers in
urban-core areas, suburbs, and exurbs/
rural areas. It will also measure
employment outcomes for TANF
recipients and other low-skilled
workers, allowing us to draw
connections between employer practices
and employee outcomes. In short, this
national survey of employers in the lowwage labor market can provide key
information on what employer practices
and policies are and how they are
associated with workplace success for
welfare recipients and other less-skilled
workers.
Respondents: A nationally
representative sample of business
establishments having 4 or more
workers.
