> 12/09/97 23:00 Welfare Activists Citing Job Shortages WASHINGTON.
> Thousands of activists are planning demonstrations across the
> country today to protest what they contend are major shortfalls in
> newly established federal welfare policies. The events are timed to
> coincide with a report by a Washington advocacy group suggesting the
>  new plan for moving welfare recipients into jobs is hampered by an
> insufficient number of available jobs paying at least modest
> salaries. The report by The Preamble Center for Public Policy found
> the U.S. economy in 1997-1998 will create only about half the
> low-skill jobs needed for welfare recipients, with the ratio
> reaching 8-to-1 in some states.{UPI}
