"Jobs Needed by County for TANF Adults"

To: Welfare Listserve
Note: Yesterday's "CalWork!" post did not include an appendix on the job
growth, by county, needed to address welfare reform. This post is an attempt
to send that table to you as a text file. It may not work -- given the
vagaries of spacing. If it does not work and you would like a copy FAXed or
mailed to you, please call the Senate Select Committee on Economic Development,
(916) 323-8258.
