2013 Revised Code of Washington
Title 74 - PUBLIC ASSISTANCE
74.25A Employment partnership program.
74.25A.005 Legislative findings.
RCW 74.25A.005 Legislative findings.
The legislature finds that the restructuring in the Washington economy has created rising public assistance caseloads and declining real wages for Washington workers. There is a profound need to develop partnership programs between the private and public sectors to create new jobs with adequate salaries and promotional opportunities for chronically unemployed and underemployed citizens of the state. Most public assistance recipients want to become financially independent through paid employment. A voluntary program which utilizes public wage subsidies and employer matching salaries has provided a beneficial financial incentive allowing public assistance recipients transition to permanent full-time employment.
