Description

Oftentimes during discussions of poverty people will comment that people should just work harder or go and get a job.

For this exercise, calculate the budget (housing, utilities, food) that a family of one adult and two young children require for one month in Omaha.

After doing this, decide if it is cost effective to leave welfare for work. Support your opinion.
