Will a lack of jobs doom welfare reform?

Article Abstract:

The new Welfare Reform Act, approved in Aug 1996, limits welfare payment to two years at any one time and five years in a lifetime. The act compels welfare recipients, who are deficient in education and skills, to seek jobs. The business community can employ welfare recipients if injected slowly and with government subsidies being given to employers. The state of Wisconsin, for example, pays employers $300 a month for each welfare recipient hired. However, it would take more work experience and more government support before the wages of welfare recipients increase beyond the minimum.

Corporations' misguided obsession with shareholder wealth

Article Abstract:

Shareholders and investment managers should begin to make more ethical decisions as the corporations they invest in have tended to base their management decisions on satisfying these shareholders. Shareholders have primarily been concerned with profits, without regard to the ethics of management. Many hostile takeovers, downsizing efforts and mergers, all of which can cause lay-offs, were executed to increase share value. The increased power of investors may also increase the gap between the extremely wealthy and other economic classes.
