One of the initial studies, post W-2, to survey and draw conclusions from program participants in Milwaukee. The report issued a key challenge with the following statement, "W-2 now faces the challenge of ensuring that former AFDC recipients can retain their jobs and advance in the workplace. According to the former AFDC recipients themselves, accessible education and training is an important piece of this puzzle. While putting the employable to work, Wisconsin should also be sensitive to the needs of those who have a reported disability and those who have not experienced an increase in their standard of living."
