The book emphasizes the point that these programs have the potential to help pull many needy workers and their families above the poverty line." - Industrial and Labor Relations Review

"Robert Stoker and Laura Wilson's important book assesses the extent to which federal and state policies are effective in filling the gaps workers experience when "work is not enough."... this book will serve as a useful resource for labor educators, students, and professionals, especially those who engage with low-income workers. Through their research and analysis, Stoker and Wilson have made an important contribution to understanding the possibilities and limits of programs designed to "make work pay."" - Labor Studies Journal
