A
DAY'S WORK, A DAY'S PAY follows three welfare recipients
in New York City from 1997 to 2000 as they participate in
the largest welfare-to-work program in the nation. When forced
to work at city jobs for well below the prevailing wage and
deprived of the chance to go to school, these individuals
decide to fight back, demanding programs that will actually
help them move off of welfare and into jobs. It was broadcast
nationwide on PBS and cable throughout 2002 and 2003. (57
mins, color, 2002)
