Book excerpt: This report presents the findings from the first of three rounds of research in a projected 3-year study of the way state governments have begun to implement the new Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training Program (JOBS). JOBS is a part of the Family Support Act of 1988 and provides employment, education, and training services that recipients need to avoid long-term welfare dependency. This first report is based on information from research conducted shortly after states were required to implement JOBS and includes data from 10 states (Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas), which were selected to represent a range of experiences in JOBS implementation. The report provides an overview of the program designs, policies, and strategies adopted by the state-level organizations in implementing JOBS. The report's 10 sections are: (1) introduction; (2) state profiles; (3) leadership, funding, and organizational change; (4) state program designs and resource allocations; (5) accessing services for JOBS participants; (6) child care and other support services; (7) state choices for client processing; (8) meeting federal reporting requirements; (9) participation in JOBS (mandatory and voluntary); and (10) conclusions. The JOBS legislation has encouraged a moderate shift to a more human investment approach. States are placing less emphasis on immediate job placement and more emphasis on services that will increase the capacity of recipients to achieve self-sufficiency over the long term, as reflected in the expansion of educational components, and, to a lesser degree, in expenditures on case management services. Included are 14 tables, appendixes with information on the field associates and the field network research reporting format, and 26 references. (JB)

Book excerpt: In this era of renewed federalism, state governments take center stage advancing ambitious legislative agendas, pioneering innovative public policy, and providing much needed political leadership. The "devolution revolution" of the 1990s transferred many of the nation’s principal domestic programs from federal to state management, often without transferring the necessary funding. This combination of expanded responsibilities and deficient resources has left many states in financial turmoil—unable to fulfill policy promises. At the same time, escalating concerns over national security have prompted the federal government to reclaim more authority. The State of the States captures both the tensions and opportunities at the forefront of state politics. This fully up-to-date fourth edition assembles the preeminent voices on the most important topics facing state governments today. Important new coverage includes: the debilitating challenges governors face in an era of ballooning gubernatorial stature and performance expectations, reflected in the removal of Gov. Gray Davis (D-CA) and the departures of Gov. John Rowland (R-CT) and Gov. Jim McGreevey (D-NJ). the adoption of legislative term limits by referenda—illustrating the unmerited public distrust of the legislature—and the consequent movement of legislators to other public offices. the reputation of state courts for "liberal activism," with controversial verdicts on such issues as abortion and same-sex marriage, as well as decisions in favor of tort reform and the rights of criminal defendants. the growing emphasis on performance measures as an accountability tool for state agencies. the rigorous standards and uniformity of the federal No Child Left Behind Act for which states are paying the price. the development of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), which devolved authority for welfare programs back to the states after nearly six decades of federal control. the continuous debate over health policy, including the decades-long struggle to remedy health insurance coverage gaps and the more recent push to promote embryonic stem cell research.
