[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If posters say this type of support is temporary, why are some people on it their whole lives? [/quote] Employment discrimination, for one thing. Employers have always preferred to hire job changers instead of someone who is unemployed, and someone who has never held a job is even more likely to be looked at suspiciously. Many people on welfare don't have the kind of connections that lead to employment, like a relative with a small business who can hire a kid for a summer job, or even a friend with a job who can help them find openings. If you are really concerned, the next time you need an entry-level worker, look for someone who is currently on welfare. [/quote]
